Waste to Energy Projects

Purpose:

To implement a program applicable to Eligible Energy

Resources installed on customer premises.

Status:

PUC Staff initiated an investigation into combined heat and

power (CHP) systems, likely to encompass Waste to Energy projects

Company agreed to delay filing until April 30th 2013 Workshop scheduled for December 4th, 2012 Findings will be used to inform Company’s final filing

Xcel In-Home Smart Device Pilot

Pilot Status

  • Ongoing Operations & Customer Support
  • 13 control events to date
  • Few warranty/installation issues ~ 5%
  • Focus on customer outreach
  • Monthly communication providing tips and information
  • Participant survey to determine likes, most beneficial features

Preliminary Learning's

  • Low adoption, take rate ~ 1.4%
  • Working on customer side of meter poses unique challenges
  • 50% of devices not controllable or customer disabled
  • Rapid technology change = device obsolescence

Next Steps

  • Prepare the preliminary evaluation report with 2012 data
  • Review survey results and adjust outreach plan as needed

Customer Adoption

72,532 4,931 Response rate = 6.8% 1006 Install rate = 1.4%

Target 1149
