Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth
Clean Energy Activity
• Global Warming Solutions Act• Green Communities Act• IOU Energy Efficiency Programs• Utility Rate Decoupling• Renewable Portfolio Standard• Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard• Building Energy Codes• Green Communities Division• Zero Net Energy Buildings• Leading by Example• Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative• MA Clean Energy Center• American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth
GCA Efficiency Program Vision
• Least cost procurement requirement on IOUs• Programs operated by IOUs and CLC• Three year plans• From fixed budget to entrepreneurial• Expanded role for CHP• Stakeholder involvement• SBC, RGGI, FCM, EERF funding sources

Nation-Leading Energy Efficiency Plans
• Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC) 25 public meetings Chaired by DOER Commissioner Phil Giudice 11 voting members
Business, industry and environmental groups, residential energy users, state environmental and economic development officials, the Attorney General
Program Administrators
• EEAC unanimously approved plans (10/09)• DPU approved plans (1/10)

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth
Progress update: Two years out from the GCA
• Great goals, strong plans• Solid, open process• Building off the old programs – good and bad• Some great new approaches• Improving integration of programs and program
delivery• Ahead of the goals in some programs; behind in
others

Three-Year Plan: Benefits at a GlanceAbout 3x the annual savings over 2008Electric
• 2.4M Residential, Low Income, and Commercial participants over 3 years
• Investment of $1.7B over 3 years• 30,000 GWh savings over the lifetime of the measures• Efficiency represents 2.4% of sales in 2012
Gas• 920,000 Residential, Low Income and Commercial participants over
3 years• Investment of $483M over 3 years• 897M therms savings over the lifetime of the measures• Efficiency represents 1.15% of sales in 2012

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth
Challenges: MA
• Reaching and motivating customers• Deeper savings• Financing and outside funding• Some program design issues• Doing all the hardest things• Settling at the appropriate level of regulatory and
stakeholder review

Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth11
Challenges: Global• Policy – Federal/State; working relationships; patchwork• Calculations
– Free Riders, Spill Over, Market transformation, Useful remaining life– Measurement and verification, end usage data, documented outcomes– TRC; Benefit/Cost
• Onerous well established regulatory processes– Appropriate incentives for achieving results; making a profit– Removing disincentives for achieving results– Assigning attributable causation
• Delivery– Capitalizing on diverse delivery models – free market approaches– Creating valuable jobs while changing delivery models
• Customer interest– Making people care about it when its not economically of interest– End user time frames, split incentives– Making efficiency easy for end users– Tailored to the vast variety of end users
• Funding

Perceived Efficiency Panaceas• Decoupling• PACE• Economic self interest• Smart Grid, real time pricing• Technology breakthroughs• EERS/ White Tags• Competitive market solutions• Communication
Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth13
Two Invitational Global Priorities
1. Buildings – Codes stringent stretch ZNEB– Labeling: asset and operational
2. Appliances– Beyond minimum standards– One watt stand-by

Closing Thoughts• Efficiency matters and will take work• New ideas are needed and existing approaches
are valuable – change is hard• Lots of work remains – leadership and
partnership needed• Success is highly likely – shared commitment
exists• Opportunity to be a showcase – reducing
energy waste while growing our economy
