►First step in planning process ►Assessment of Potential (AoP) estimates potential
savings, which is one important input goal setting
►Presentation will discuss − AoP methodology − Summary of PA potential studies − Key take aways − Electric potential considerations, adjustments and costs − Gas potential considerations, adjustments, and costs

►There is still potential in MA to support electric
savings in excess of 3%
►There is still potential in MA to support robust
programs
►Residential electric potential is lower than recent
achievement due to lighting changes
►C&I electric opportunities remain strong ►No significant changes expected in gas potential for
either residential or C&I
►Early expectations are that residential costs may
increase somewhat, but PA Plan will provide best source of data for ongoing planning
| 3
www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential
►In previous planning cycles, Consultants relied on
historical achievement as primary basis for AoP
►For 2019-2021, past not necessarily a strong predictor
− Changing lighting standards and market transformation − Changing baselines − New more varied and integrated opportunities ►In years past, no potential studies for all PAs ►Current AoP uses PA potential studies informed by
trends as starting point
►Made adjustments based on additional analysis of key
considerations and recent program experience

www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential
►Each PA hired contractors to complete potential
studies
►Scopes of work for each study varied by PA ►Not all PA potential studies were completed by the
same contractor
►PA contractors used different assumptions ►Most PA studies only included annual savings ►Estimate of active demand potential forthcoming
(April)
►Contractors will rerun results with new avoided costs ►Consultant analysis required data extrapolation to
compare results between studies

and NTG higher than agreed-to values going forward
► Eversource report estimates a 65% reduction compared to 2016 and a
45% reduction from 2019 to 2021

►Feb. 28 EEAC resolution supports provision of a
new, integrated residential program design
►The PAs’ potential study scenarios don’t involve a
significant redesign of the residential program
− MAX achievable potential scenarios included generic reductions to market barriers, which translated to higher modeled participation − However, specific program changes were not modeled

►Will be extremely challenging to make up lost lighting
savings in the electric sector in 2019-2021
►Several things needed to keep savings impacts as low
as possible
− Aggressive approaches to boost existing measure production − Identifying new measures and approaches − Promoting fuel switching − Continuing innovations in new construction, and active demand management ►New continuous engagement program model offers

►CHP was not included in the PA potential studies − Except CLC where potential was found to be zero ►CHP typically increases C&I Savings by 13.5% or 80k
MWh annual savings per year (16.4) MW)

►CMA was the only PA to attribute a value to SEM: For
buildings > 25k SF. They found:
− Commercial potential assumed to be 6% of gas use − Industrial potential assumed to be 2% of all gas use ►The EEAC has recommended SEM in past resolutions ►PAs released a SEM RFP, which could bring in new
savings as soon as 2019
►Estimate that SEM could increase C&I electric annual
savings 2.1% per year and 0.46% for C&I gas savings
| 27
www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential
►The potential studies did not consider program
modifications such as moving measures upstream
►Upstream approach can increase volume and
savings – Example: gas water heaters
►Upstream lighting is the least expensive electric C&I
initiative on a $ / lifetime kWh basis
►PAs continue to add new measures upstream: − Electric: LED fixtures with controls, LED high/low bay, T5 TLEDs, VRF HP, circulator pumps, food service equip. − Gas: Food service, other measures in pipeline

►Consultant analysis shows:
− C&I evaluations will decrease future electric savings 1.1%
Process, Small Biz Lighting − C&I evaluations will decrease future gas savings 10.9%
− Baseline and Industry Standard Practice changes will impact savings as follows:
