Customer Survey Highlights - 2005

• The most effective means to provide information is direct mail or bill stuffer

• Those who did not participate indicated they felt the programs were not convenient or would not save enough electricity, also they did not want to change when they used electricity and that there was not enough incentive to participate

• In order to acquire more customers for these programs, the utility will have to show the benefits of participating and provide messaging that customers will not lose control

Page 27: Idaho Power Company Demand Response & Dynamic Pricing Programs PNDRP December 5, 2008 Darlene Nemnich Pete Pengilly.

Customer Survey Highlights - 2006

• Satisfaction is tied to the sense that their electricity bill decreased and that they were conserving energy

• Most participants indicated they changed the way they used electricity

• Less than half of all participants and less than one third of Energy Watch participants have central air conditioning

• About half of the participants are over the age 65

• Most participants have been Idaho Power customers more than 25 years

Page 28: Idaho Power Company Demand Response & Dynamic Pricing Programs PNDRP December 5, 2008 Darlene Nemnich Pete Pengilly.

Lessons Learned

• Labor Intensive– Call Center

– Meter Support

– Corporate Communications

– Customer Satisfaction

• Automated System(s) for Customer Notification

• Need infrastructure in place

• Need constant marketing/reinforcement

• More and easier “near real time” feedback to customers

• No clear customer elasticity

• Review program design– Hours

– Rates
