  1. The Truth About the New Lighting Standard IEE Breakfast Briefing NARUC Summer Meetings Wednesday, July 20, 2011 6:30 – 8:00 a.m. JW Marriott at LA Live 3rdFloor, Plaza I and II

  2. Panel Discussion  Moderator: David Owens, Executive Vice President, Edison Electric Institute  Panelists – Kristin Eberhard, Legal Director, Western Energy and Climate, NRDC (keberhard@nrdc.org) – Ted Schultz, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Innovation, ECOS (tschultz@ecosconsulting.com)704 – -905-4305 – Lisa Wood, Executive Director, Institute for Electric Efficiency (lwood@edisonfoundation.net) 2

  3. The Facts  EISA does not ban incandescent bulbs  CFLs are not the new baseline; more efficient incandescent bulbs are the new baseline.  Utility programs are essential for continued lighting energy savings.  Next generation programs must promote a “portfolio” of lighting options and fully leverage the retail channel  Confusion about new lighting technologies will be high. Customer education is critically important

  4. Dispelling myths: The incandescent is not banned. Consumers will have more choices than ever! The Bulb Act – voted down in House July 12. The bill from Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) to repeal part of a 2007 energy law requiring traditional incandescent light bulbs to be 30 percent more energy efficient beginning in 2012 failed to get the necessary support….

  9. How much lighting energy can be saved in a typical house? (50 medium screw-based sockets) Three Scenarios for Lighting Energy Use in a Typical Home 2,500 Annual Lighting Energy Use (kWh) Other -16% - 16% 2,000 Reflector General Service 1,500 - 51% -51% 1,000 500 0 All Incandescents 80% Incandescents - 20% CFLs (National Average) Portfolio of CFLs, LEDs and 2x Incandescents

  10. Customer-based analysis reveals a transition path CFLs Market share potential numbers and adoption curves allow programs to select the right product mix over time. Mix of bulbs LED CFL 2X Early Adoption Growth Established 10

  11. Conclusions – EISA does not ban incandescent bulbs. Consumer education is key!  New technologies and program approaches can cut residential lighting energy use in half over the next decade – saving more energy than CFLs have saved over the last 20 years  Consumer confusion about the new lighting technologies will be high; many new choices – consumer education important.  Guiding consumers to make both the appropriate and the high- efficiency choice will be key to realizing energy savings.  Utilities can continue to run cost-effective residential lighting programs after the new federal laws take effect 11

  12. What are we doing to help?  IEE – developing a lighting “guidebook” for utilities to help consumers choose the appropriate & efficient bulb/brand  ECOS – working with utilities to transition their lighting programs and fully leverage the retail channel  NRDC – Educating the public, the media, and legislators via blogs, fact sheets and other outreach  Roles of regulators, suppliers, advocates? 12
