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.

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.
