Why Energy Efficiency?

1. Energy efficiency is deemed to be one of the most cost effective

“sources” of energy.

• The cost of saving a kW or kWh is less than the cost of producing a kW

or kWh (“cost effectiveness”)

2. In past years, the electricity generation capacity during peak times

has not always met the demand.

3. Energy efficiency programs help create demand and supply of new

technologies to encourage “early” adoption.

4. Energy efficiency programs spur changes in new building codes as

technologies become more readily available and affordable.

Demand and Energy Savings…Where do they come from?

To achieve the energy and demand goals,

Oncor offers Energy Efficiency Programs.

• Programs offer incentives to install equipment (“measures”) or

have services performed that increase the efficiency of a

home or building

• Incentives cover a portion of the cost of the project

• Incentives are based on the actual demand and energy

savings as a result of the work ($/kW and $/kWh saved)

• Most incentives are paid to participating service providers

who then pass the discount ($) onto customers

Glossary of Terms – Calculating Savings

Peak Demand: The electric demand that occurs during peak summer or

winter hours (excluding holidays)

Summer: M-F, 1-7 PM from June 1st – September 30th

Winter: 6-10 am & 6-10 pm from December 1st – February 28th

from a measure that

coincides with the

peak period. Typically

shown as a “%”.

Glossary of Terms – Calculating Savings

Measurement and Verification (M&V): The process of verifying and

measuring the actual energy and demand savings as the result of an

energy efficiency project. This can include metering or logging of data

and engineering calculations.

Deemed Savings: An estimate of energy or demand savings for a

measure that has been developed from actual data and analytical

methods to create stipulated values. Deemed savings may be used

in specific applications in lieu of measurement and verification

activities.

E-Files: A set of Excel-based spreadsheets that incorporate deemed

savings information used to calculate energy and demand savings

based on specific input criteria.

Fixture Codes: A code provided to denote a specific lighting fixture in the E1 Lighting File.

Program Manuals: Document that incorporate all the program rules, processes, incentives, budgets, and program contact information.

Phases of Participation:

Initial Application (IA): Blocks incentive funds for a project for a specified period of time.

Final Application (FA): Provides accurate project information used to generate a formal Reservation of Funds Agreement.

Installation Notice (IN): Period of time for construction and notification to Oncor of completion.

Savings Report (SR): Generation of the

project savings and incentives.

Glossary of Terms – Program Evaluation

Estimated Useful Life (EUL): The estimated time (typically in years) that a measure continues in operation.

Cost Effectiveness: The value of the savings generated by a program or measure versus the cost.

Evaluation or EM&V: The process of an outside, third party (hired by the PUCT) conducting verification activities on utility administered programs.

Opt Out: A customer or customer class that has

elected not to contribute to the Energy

Efficiency Cost Recovery Fund. These

Customers are NOT eligible for participation.
