## PG&E – Federal PartnershipDemand-Responsive (DR)Lighting Pilot Program

- October 19, 2005
- Presented by: Ron Shaw, Corporate Account Manager
- Pacific Gas and Electric Company
- Federal Utility Partnership Working Group”Rushing to More Energy Projects”

## Demand-Responsive Lighting Pilot ProgramMarket Forces at Work

- Program responds to changing California electricity market where:
- Facing continued economic growth
- Large commercial end-users (>200kW) will experience new critical peak pricing (CPP) tariffs
- State’s infrastructure has ongoing transmission & distribution constraints
- Exists generation shortfalls
- Coupled with these factors are new initiatives to restructure electricity market to link wholesale & retail costs

## What is Driving California’s Energy Needs? 

**Population projected to reach over 42 million by 2015**

- Increases from 34.7 million in 2001 to over 42 million in 2015, average growth rate of 1.5%.

## How Much Energy Will CA Need?

- Use projected to increase ~30% (2001-2015)

- Increases from 250,000 GWh in 2001 to roughly 330,000 GWh in 2015
- Approximately 2% annual growth rate

## IDSM Update

- CPUC has embraced IDSM:
- “Providing customers with an integrated presentation of their energy management options, addressing demand reduction strategies, energy efficiency, and other options will assist customers in making the best decisions about how to more effectively manage their energy requirements.”

## 2003-2005: EE Policy Components

**April 2005:  Policy Rules Decision**
*“**The Commission’s overriding goal...is to pursue all cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities over both the short- and long-term”*
**September 2005:  Programs and budgets for 2006-08 approved.  Over three years**:
*1500 MW of savings*
*$5.4 billion in lifecycle resource benefits*
*$2 billion in program funding*
- Ongoing/Future:  Evaluation framework under development and shareholder incentives considered

## What Will it Cost to California?	

**Increased funding to meet the challenging savings targets.**

- (EM&V and Low Income EE program funding not included)

## DR Lighting Pilot ProgramObjectives & Phasing

- DRL Pilot Program objective:
- To install & test DR enabling technologies, combined with strategies needed to implement DR lighting with persistent yields
- Directed at installing new, more efficient & cost-effective lighting control technologies to reduce electric lighting energy consumption & demand in federal facilities without compromising comfort & occupant acceptability
- Three proposed major implementation phases:
- Initial program development, demonstration & evaluation
- Marketing & training phase
- Full DRL Pilot Program deployment across PG&E’s federal customers’ facilities

## DR Lighting Pilot ProgramIssues Effecting Federal Sector: Need for Pilots

- Initial work covers a fraction of technological & social issues needing to be addressed & resolved before widespread DR technology application may be realized
- The full spectrum of issues includes:
- Determining impacts on building occupants associated with load shedding
- Determining practical & economically feasible potential to shed load in each building
- Developing appropriate demand-response strategies
- Developing appropriate enabling technologies to implement strategies
- Testing & refining strategies & technologies real-world environments
- Information dissemination & training for widespread adoption strategies & technologies

- 2001 Data: CEC

## DR Lighting Pilot ProgramPartnership & Program Focus

- Unique partnership between PG&E & FEMP will enable PG&E to work in collaboration with its federal customers within California
- Program focus:
- Implementing technologies & control strategies that integrate with external load shedding or utility pricing signals
- Addressing full spectrum of issues for the realizing DR
- Large commercial buildings lighting systems to develop DR lighting technologies that can be applied across entire Federal building stock within California

## 2006: Energy Efficiency: The Future Has Never Been Brighter!

**Strong regulatory policy and structure**
**Revitalized program design**
**Unprecedented program funding**
**Rising concern about energy costs**
**High levels of efficiency integrated into **
**      ****all resource decisions**
