The DSM Steering Committee reviews the DSM Potential Study performed by GDS

Associates for each EKPC IRP. That study identifies all potential cost-effective DSM programs.

John Farley, DSM consultant, also provides additional insight to DSM program cost-

effectiveness evaluations. The DSM Steering Committee, based on their field experience

working the membership, helps to identify the need for cost-effective programs. Although no

formal process exists to determine need for a new DSM programs, participation levels of existing

programs are reviewed to assist in determining the need to continue cost-effective programs.

Both the DSM Steering Committee and the owner-member CEOs expressed a desired to

continue cost-effective residential programs that assist their members having high bills due to

energy-inefficient housing.

REQUEST6

RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Kerry K. Howard

Request 6; For each Distribution Cooperative, provide a list of any DSM program targeted at

low-income customers and provide a description of said programs.

Response 6; Licking Valley RECC offers the Community Assistance Resources for Energy

Savings ("CARES") low-income program. The CARES tariff is located on Sheet No. 32.1 and

CARES Low-Income Weatherization Program

Program Description EKPC's Community Assistance Resources for Energy Savings (CARES) Low Income Program provides an

incentive to enhance the weatherization and energy efficiency services provided to its residential retail

members by the Kentucky Community Action Agency's (CAA) network of not for profit community action

agencies.

EKPC and its owner-members provide an incentive to the CAA implementing the project on behalf of the

retail member.

EKPC's program has two primary objectives. First, EKPC's incentive will enable the CAA to install more

measures in each home. Second, the additional incentive from EKPC will assist CAA in weatherizing more

homes.

Two types of homes are eligible for incentives:

Heat Pump Eligible Homes are single family or multi-family residential dwellings that use electricity for

their primary source of heat. The EKPC incentive can be used to upgrade the home to an air source heat

pump as well as to install weatherization improvements including insulation, air sealing, duct sealing,

and a water heater blanket.

Heat Pump ineligible homes are single family or multi-family residential dwellings that do not use

electricity for their primary source of heat, but do cool their home with central or window unit air

conditioners. The EKPC incentive can be used to install weatherization improvements.

The maximum incentive per household is $2,000.

Target Market The homeowner must be a residential retail member of one of EKPC's 16 owner-members.

The household must qualify for weatherization and energy efficiency services according to the

guidelines of the Weatherization Assistance Program administered by the local CAA. Household income

cannot exceed the designated poverty guidelines established by the CAA.
