CHAPTER 14. UTILITY IMPACTS ANALYSIS

14.1 SUMMARY

The effects of proposed water heater energy-efficiency standards on the electricity and natural

gas industries were analyzed using a variant of U.S. DOE/EIA’s National Energy Modeling System

(NEMS) called NEMS-BRS, together with some exogenous calculations.a NEMS was used by

DOE/EIA to produce the Annual Energy Outlook 2000 (AEO2000)

1

 and NEMS-BRS is used to

provide some key equivalent inputs to our standards analysis. Because electric utility restructuring

is well underway, it is no longer valid to assume the traditional cost recovery regulation of utilities,

which was the basis of previous utility impact analyses. Therefore, this utility analysis consists of

a comparison between model results for a case comparable to the AEO2000 Reference Case, as

reported in the AEO2000, and policy cases incorporating each of the water heater trial standard

levels. Because the policy standards effects are too small to be seen in the context of the whole

natural gas and electricity sector, NEMS-BRS is not used directly. Rather, exploratory runs are

conducted to estimate marginal effects, which are then used to calculate the small effects on utilities

due to each proposed standard level. The reduced electricity demand from Trial Standard Levels 2

and 3 reduces generation from both coal and natural gas. Because natural gas is more frequently the

marginal fuel, it is usually affected to a greater degree, particularly early in the forecast period. Later

in the forecast, natural gas-fired generation actually increases in many cases, likely due to reduced

residential natural gas demand. Other generation is only minimally affected by any of the trial

standard levels. Trial Standard Levels 1 and 4 are unique in that they propose negative electricity

savings. The significant natural gas savings in the residential sector that result from these standards

are reflected in the power sector by an increase in natural gas-fired generation. Coal and other types

of generation are reduced by about the same degree as in the other standard levels, although primarily

as a result of fuel-switching as opposed to reduced electrical demand.

14.2 PURPOSE OF THE ANALYSIS

The purpose of this analysis is to assess the impact of each trial standard level on electric and

natural gas utilities. The requirement that the effects of proposed standards on electric utilities be

analyzed has a long history. Analysis of the effects of proposed standards on the electric utility

industry has historically taken the form of estimated fuel savings and capital cost savings relative

to the likely reduction in revenues implied by lower electricity sales. In the short term, ratepayers

of traditional utilities gained because of reduced energy use at fixed prices, but any imbalance

between utility revenue and costs disappeared in the long run as traditional regulation ensured that

utilities would recover their costs. In a restructured industry, however, only transmission and
a The DOE/EIA assumptions regarding restructuring are explained on page 11 and pages 20-23 of the AEO2000.

distribution providers will be permitted to recoup costs, and energy prices are not rigid in the short

run, so the basis of our analysis must change. Using the AEO2000 assumptions regarding the spread

of restructuring allows us to use NEMS-BRS to estimate the overall effect of standards on the

industry.a

 We assess the impact of standards on utilities by reporting several key industry parameters,

notably energy sales, generation, and capacity.

No previous appliance standard-setting process has considered the natural gas utility industry,

and coverage of natural gas here is modest. Analysis of the effects of standards on the natural gas

sector is limited to the reporting of residential consumption of natural gas and the change in the

contribution of natural gas to electric generation.

14.3 ASSUMPTIONS

NEMS-BRS has several advantages that have led to its adoption as the source for basic

forecasting in the appliance energy-efficiency analyses. NEMS-BRS relies on a set of assumptions

which are well known and fairly transparent due to the exposure and scrutiny each AEO receives.

In addition, the comprehensiveness of NEMS-BRS permits the modeling of interactions among the

various energy supply and demand sectors and the economy as a whole, so it produces a

sophisticated picture of the effects of appliance standards. Perhaps most importantly, because it

explicitly simulates the impact on the industry, NEMS-BRS provides an accurate estimation of

marginal effects, which yield better indicators of actual effects than estimates based on industry-wide

average values. We chose marginal rates over average rates because we wanted to show the effects

of proposed standards as well as what might also be happening in the market according to the

AEO2000 Reference Case.

The utility analysis uses the assumptions of AEO2000 and treats water heater efficiency

standards as variations in policy. Because the implementation of standards reduces demand by less

than 1% of total U.S. electricity generation in any given year, its effect cannot be detected directly

by simulations. Therefore, simulation runs are done for larger reductions in demand, and results are

interpolated between AEO2000 and these runs. We assume that the effects measured are linear

within the range of interpolation. This issue is discussed further below and in Appendix I.

Variations in some of these assumptions have also been explored through two scenarios that

represent alternative futures based on the Low and High Economic Growth cases of AEO2000,

demonstrating the effects of alternative growth assumptions on energy markets. The growth

assumptions for each case are based on macroeconomic forecasts prepared by DRI/McGraw-Hill.2

The AEO2000 Reference Case assumes a moderate rate of economic growth, 2.2% a year from 1998

through 2020. The Low Economic Growth case is based on lower growth rates for population, labor

force, and productivity, resulting in higher prices and interest rates and lower growth in industrial

output. Economic output in the Low Growth case increases by 1.7% a year from 1998 through 2020.

The High Economic Growth case incorporates higher growth rates for population, labor force, and
a Please see pages 38 and 49 of the AEO2000 for more details on growth assumptions.

14-3

labor productivity, resulting in lower inflation and interest rates and an increased projected economic

output of 2.6% a year. The energy savings that we used to model the Low and High Economic

Growth cases varied by a minor amount from that which we used to model the standard levels in the

Reference Case.a

14.4 METHODS

NEMS is a large, multi-sectoral, partial equilibrium model of the U.S. energy sector that has

been developed over several years by DOE/EIA, primarily for the purpose of preparing the Annual

Energy Outlook. NEMS produces a widely recognized baseline forecast for the U.S. through 2020

and is in the public domain. The NEMS-BRS model used for appliance standards analysis is based

on the AEO2000 version of NEMS with minor modifications.

The current time horizon of NEMS-BRS is 2020, yet other parts of the water heater energyefficiency standards analysis extend to the year 2030. It is not feasible to extend the forecast period

of NEMS-BRS for the purposes of this analysis nor does DOE/EIA have an approved method for

extrapolation of many outputs beyond 2020. While it might seem reasonable in general to make

simple linear extrapolations of results, in practice this is not advisable because outputs could be

contradictory. For example, changes in the fuel mix implied by extrapolations of those outputs could

be inconsistent with the extrapolation of marginal emissions factors. An analysis of various trends

sufficiently detailed to guarantee consistency is beyond the scope of this work, and, in any case,

would involve a great deal of uncertainty. Therefore, all extrapolations beyond 2020 are simple

replications of year 2020 results (except for fuel prices; see below). While these may seem

unreasonable in some instances, in this way results are guaranteed to be consistent. As with the AEO

Reference Case in general, the implicit assumption is that the regulatory environment does not

deviate from the current known situation during the extrapolation period. Only changes that have

been announced with date-certain introduction are included in NEMS-BRS. To emphasize the

extrapolated results wherever they appear, they are shaded in grey to distinguish them from actual

NEMS-BRS results.

For fuel prices, we extrapolate to 2030 using the DOE/EIA approach for forecasting fuel

prices for the U.S. Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). To determine the regional price

forecasts for petroleum products for the years 2020-2030, we use the projected average annual

growth rate for the world oil price in combination with the refinery and distribution markups from

2020 onward. Similarly, natural gas prices are derived from the average annual growth rate over

the years 1998 to 2020 in combination with regional price margins from the year 2020. Electricity

prices are kept constant at 2020 levels because it is assumed that the transition to a restructured

utility industry will be completed.

Policy runs are executed by reducing electricity, natural gas, LPG, and oil consumption in

the NEMS-BRS Residential Demand Module. These energy reductions are applied to the water
14-4

heater end use and are divided among U.S. census divisions based on the prevalence of each fuel for

water heating as determined by DOE/EIA’s Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS).3

 All

residential fuels are considered simultaneously, and the load shape effects of improved water heater

efficiency are replicated as well as possible.

As mentioned above, the magnitude of energy decrements that would be required for NEMSBRS to produce stable results safely out of the range of numerical noise is larger than even the most

rigorous efficiency standard under consideration. Therefore, we estimate results in the range of

effects of the standard levels using interpolation. Reductions to the Residential Demand Module

water heater load are implemented at sets of multipliers of each level. Actual changes in generation

and capacity due to the standard are then derived from these outputs. A detailed description of the

interpolation methodology is given in Appendix I.

14.5 RESULTS

Table 14.1 shows the results from a NEMS-BRS run comparable to the published AEO2000

Reference Case, with results for the four trial standard levels presented in Tables 14.2 through 14.5.

Each table shows forecasts using interpolated results as described in Section 14.4 for residential

energy sales and total U.S. electric generation and installed capacity. Results are discussed in the

following two sections. Generally, most standards result in similar effects on electric and natural

gas utilities, although the magnitude of the effects varies according to the level of forecast energy

savings. When electricity savings dominate, as in Trial Standard Levels 2 and 3, natural gas-fired

generation is somewhat more affected than coal-fired generation, especially early in the forecast.

This effect reflects the more load-following role of natural gas generation overall. When household

natural gas savings are highly coupled with small or negative electric savings, as evidenced in Trial

Standard Levels 1 and 4, significantly different effects on coal- and natural gas-fired generation in

the power sector result: while coal-fired generation is reduced, natural gas actually realizes an

increase in generation. This gain substantially offsets the drop in natural gas sales to the residential

sector that result from the standard.

14.5.1 HFC-245fa Trial Standard Levels 2 and 3

For HFC-245fa Trial Standard Levels 2 and 3, residential energy sales fall compared to the

AEO2000 Reference Case. The decrease in sales is proportional to the amount of energy that the

NES model predicts will be saved by each standard level, ranging from just under 0.4% (HFC-245fa

Trial Standard Level 2) to just under 1.3% (HFC-245fa Trial Standard Level 3) of total residential

electricity sales and up to 1.0% (HFC-245fa Trial Standard Level 3) of total residential natural gas

sales in the peak savings year reported. For each standard level, total U.S. electric generation

decreases relative to the AEO2000 baseline, by just under 0.47% in the peak year of the maximum

savings case (HFC-245fa Trial Standard Level 3) to 0.10% in the HFC-245fa Trial Standard Level

2. The natural gas contribution to electric generation rises by about 0.8% in the peak year of HFC245fa Trial Standard Level 3. Total installed capacity is also reduced in each standard level scenario,

by a maximum of nearly 0.4% (HFC-245fa Trial Standard Level 3).
14-5

The reduction in natural gas consumption in the household will, by and large, exceed the

reduction in natural gas consumption at the power plant as a fraction of total projected natural gas

savings. As an example, in the HFC-245fa Trial Standard Level 3, the reduction in natural gas

consumed by the residential sector in 2010 represents about 36% of total natural gas savings (with

the power sector contributing the remaining 64%). It is important to note that these savings, even

at their highest level, are small compared to total power sector natural gas consumption, never

exceeding 1.1% at any of the trial standard levels (and amounting to only 0.3% of total U.S. natural

gas consumption). Furthermore, natural gas consumption in power generation is predicted by

NEMS-BRS to more than double during the forecast period, reaching more than 9.4 1015 *Btu (10.0

EJ) by 2020. Residential natural gas consumption is also projected by NEMS-BRS to increase over

time, though not as dramatically as in other sectors.

14.5.2 Trial Standard Levels 1 and 4

Results from the HFC-245fa Trial Standard Levels 1 and 4 provide a significantly different

scenario. Unlike the other proposed standard levels, residential electricity sales actually increase

relative to the AEO2000 Reference Case. Residential sector natural gas sales, however, do still

decrease. In Standard Level 4, total residential electricity sales increase from 0.04% (Trial Standard

Level 1) up to 1.5% in the maximum savings case (Trial Standard Level 4), while residential natural

gas sales drop from 2.3% (Trial Standard Level 1) up to over 10.0% in 2020 for Trial Standard Level

4. As a result, natural gas prices fall and Trial Standard Level 4 produces a moderate fuel-switching

in the power sector from coal to natural gas generation. 

While total U.S. generation increases by 0.6% in 2020 in response to Trial Standard Level

4, the effect on the fuel mix is somewhat greater; natural gas-fired electric generation increases by

2.9% as coal-fired generation falls by 0.5%. Petroleum-fired generation also falls by about 4.6% and

generation by renewables is down by less than 0.1%. The amount of natural gas generation added

to the power sector in 2020, 0.36 1015 *Btu (0.38 EJ), is about 57% of the amount of natural gas

saved at the household level, 0.63 1015 *Btu (0.67 EJ). The difference, 0.27 1015 *Btu (0.28 EJ) is

approximately 0.8% of total U.S. natural gas consumption, or 2.9% of total power sector natural gas

consumption.

14.5.3 Economic Growth Cases

The results under the Low and High Economic Growth cases are presented for the four HFC245fa trial standards levels in Tables 14.6 to 14.9 and 14.10 to 14.13, respectively. For the Low

Economic Growth trial standard level cases, the savings have a slightly larger impact than in their

corresponding Reference Cases, while the High Growth standard level cases result in a slightly lower

impact for each of the reported industry parameters (i.e., energy consumption, generation, and

capacity).
