INTRODUCTION

►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

KEY TAKE AWAYS

►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

CONSULTANT AOP APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

►In previous planning cycles, Consultants relied on

historical achievement as primary basis for AoP

►For 2019-2021, past not necessarily a strong predictor

  • f the future

− 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

PA POTENTIAL STUDIES OVERVIEW

►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

RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS: LIGHTING

► 2017 Res annual electric savings were 73% lighting ► PA potential studies show varying levels of declining lighting savings

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

► Noticeably steeper decline estimate for Eversource than National Grid

RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS: LIGHTING

► Consultants estimate

steeper lighting savings drop than PA studies

► PA studies did not use

most recent evaluation findings

► NTG values are lower

(~50% vs 35% and declining) than in PA potential studies

► PA study lighting NTG

RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES: FUEL SWITCHING

►PA Potential studies did not address fuel switching ►Unregulated fuel (oil and propane) to electric fuel

conversions could yield increased electric usage, but modest MMBtu savings

2021 Ductless Heat Pump Fuel Switch Unregulated fuel participation rate 2.0% Number of Ductless units @ 1.5/household 18,643 MMBtu Fossil Fuel savings (MMBtu) 292,456 Increased Electric usage (MWh) 26,108 Net Annual MMBtu reduction 202,857 % of 2017 Electric MMBtu Savings 1.2%

RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES: PROGRAM REDESIGN

►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

RESIDENTIAL POTENTIAL SUMMARY

►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

  • pportunity for broader and deeper savings for all

fuels

►C&I lighting market transitioning from screw-in to

linear and other LED technologies

►This is good from an opportunity and EM&V

perspective –favorable evaluations for linear lighting

C&I OPPORTUNITIES: CHP

►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)

►DOER has identified a strong pipeline at ~35 MW/yr

22 MW MIT CHP likely in 2019‐2021

C&I OPPORTUNITIES: STRATEGIC ENERGY MANAGEMENT

►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

slide-28
SLIDE 28

www.ma-eeac.org 2019-2021 Assessment of Potential

C&I OPPORTUNITIES: UPSTREAM

►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

C&I CONSIDERATIONS: EVALUATION AND BASELINE CHANGES

►Consultant analysis shows:

− C&I evaluations will decrease future electric savings 1.1%

  • Comprehensive Design (CDA), Multiple Upstream, Custom

Process, Small Biz Lighting − C&I evaluations will decrease future gas savings 10.9%

  • CDA, Upstream HVAC, Steam traps (Custom and Rx)

− Baseline and Industry Standard Practice changes will impact savings as follows:

  • 3% reduction in electric annual savings
  • 11% reduction in gas annual savings

RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS: LIGHTING

►While PA studies anticipated reductions in lighting

net to gross, 2019-2021 evaluation agreed-to values are much lower

►Further, PA study lighting NTG values vary

RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS: LIGHTING

►Consultants estimate even steeper lighting savings drop

than Eversource potential study

►By 2021, total annual lighting savings are projected to

decline by ~82% compared to 2017

►Would result in a ~64% reduction in total Residential annual

electric savings in 2021 compared to 2017

►PA studies did not incorporate most recent evaluation

findings into their results

►2019-21 evaluation agreed-to values are much lower (~50%

vs 35% and declining) than assumed in PA potential studies

►Further, PA study lighting NTG values vary
