6 Main Session Presentations Main Session Presentations New Orleans Energy Usage Baseline Results, Greg Rigamer In the post-katrina period, average household energy use has declined by about 9% when compared to pre-katrina patterns. The greatest reductions in energy use are recorded in neighborhoods that were heavily flooded. New building codes and the replacement of older appliances with newer more efficient models have resulted in lower levels of energy consumption in the post-katrina era. Overview of DSM Study, David Pickles The primary objectives of a DSM potential study The process used to assess the potential for DSM in the ENO service territory Key findings of the DSM potential study 8 9

7 Main Session Presentations Residential Breakout Session Presentations ENO Energy Efficiency Program Overview, Glenn Garland Importance of Energy Efficiency and Market Transformation design in the Entergy New Orleans Programs Entergy Programs designed to stimulate business for Contractors in the Community and Increase disposable income boosting New Orleans economy Solutions Program approach creates synergies with other programs ENO DSM Strategy, Bernie Steen There are many factors that can influence the achievable DSM potential for a given geographic area Building a platform of comprehensive DSM programs is multifaceted and is better done in phases through prioritization of programs by cost-effectiveness and by incorporating best practices and lessons learned from previous programs Establishing a regulatory framework that equitably allocates cost and benefits among stakeholders is a cornerstone of optimizing DSM potential Residential Benefits of the ENO Energy Efficiency Program, Vic Pisani Residential Programs create lasting infrastructure skills in the Energy Efficiency Market Programs designed to assist all segments of the residential population Programs are targeted on main efficiency measures but flexible to include other options 10 11

8 Non-Residential Breakout Session Presentations Glossary ENO DSM Strategy, David Pickles There are many factors that can influence the achievable DSM potential for a given geographic area Building a platform of comprehensive DSM programs is multifaceted and is better done in phases through prioritization of programs by costeffectiveness and by incorporating best practices and lessons learned from previous programs Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Demand Side Management (DSM) A detailed analytical planning process utilized by utilities to determine what resources will be needed in the future to best meet customers needs for reliable, cost effective and clean power supplies. A set of actions, activities or measures that impacts energy use, energy use patterns or customer behavior as it relates to energy consumption. Establishing a regulatory framework that equitably allocates cost and benefits among stakeholders is a cornerstone of optimizing DSM potential Commercial and Industrial Benefits of the ENO Energy Efficiency Program, Glenn Garland Conservation Activities/actions that reduce energy consumption through changes in life style such as increasing thermostat settings on air conditioning equipment in the summer, lower thermostat settings on water heaters, turning off lights when not in use, etc. Conservation activities typically require little to no investment by the customer to reduce energy usage. Large Solutions and Small C&I Solutions Programs advance the Commercial Energy Efficiency Market Programs increase the skills of local contractors and boost the business for the Contractor Industry Energy Efficiency Activities aimed at reducing energy use through technically more advanced equipment, typically without affecting the services provided. (I.E. high efficiency appliances, heating, ventilation or air conditioning (HVAC) systems and efficient building design) Programs are targeted on main efficiency measures but flexible to include other options Weatherization Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Practice of protecting a building and its interior from the elements, particularly from sunlight, precipitation and wind, and of modifying a building to reduce energy consumption and optimize energy efficiency. Systems that measure, collect and analyze energy usage, from advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, and/or water meters, through various communication media on request or on a pre-defined schedule. This infrastructure includes hardware, software, communications, customer associated systems and meter data management software. The network between the measurement devices and business systems allows collection and distribution of information to customers and utility companies which allows for cost savings and changes in energy usage from normal consumption patterns. 12 Demand Response Utilized to lessen customer usage/demand during peak periods or those times when the cost to supply energy is more expensive. Programs in this area include Time of Use (TOU) rates and load control programs such as AC or pool pump switches, etc. 13
