Agricultural Programs’ Logic Model

ACTIVITIESULTIMATE

OUTCOMES

The Purpose of Logic Models

A logic model is a strategy tool that graphically depicts how a program’s activities logically lead to the

achievement of the program’s goals.

Logic models:

• Make implicit assumptions about program design explicit

• Facilitate a mutual understanding of program design and intended outcomes across program staff,

stakeholders, and evaluators

OUTCOMES

Elements of a Logic Model

The actions the program team will

take to reach their long-term

outcome.

The measurable and concrete

outputs of the planned activities.

The short-term indicators that the

program team is on track toward its

ultimate outcomes.

The intended outcomes that will

result from the program team’s

The ultimate outcomes that the

program team aims to achieve.

Certain outcomes are ongoing.

ULTIMATE OUTCOMES

Primary: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA)

achieves its regional energy savings goals in the

agricultural sector.

Secondary: BPA supports utilities in enabling their

agricultural customers to save energy.

ACTIVITIES IDENTIFIED TO ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE OUTCOMES FALL INTO SIX CATEGORIES:

Marketing Support for Utilities

Outreach & Collaboration

Technical Support for Utilities

Technology Pipeline

Research

Program Operations

The BPA Agricultural Programs’ Logic Model

ACTIVITIES RESULTS

(OF THE ACTIVITIES)

IMMEDIATE OUTCOMES INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES ULTIMATE OUTCOMES

BPA viewed as partner in energy efficiency by utilities

with agricultural base

Utilities, irrigators, and trade allies increase their

awareness of energy savings opportunities, non-

energy benefits, and rebate programs (including BPA

and others)

Technical tools and information made available to

utilities to facilitate pump tests, custom projects, etc.

Marketing collateral/information delivered to utilities,

trade allies, and irrigators

Utilities conduct pump tests

for irrigators; irrigators better understand their

system’s health

Implementation manual updated each year

Invoices approved and paid

• Technical assistance to utilities and to irrigators at the utility’s request

• Training utilities to conduct pump tests

• Tool development (e.g., pump test screener tool, scientific irrigation scheduling (SIS)

• Custom project development

Utilities proactively market the rebates for irrigation

measures and pump tests

• Planning and budgeting

• Implementation manual

• Compliance reviews

• Invoice processing

Irrigators’ satisfaction with utilities increases; utilities’

satisfaction with BPA increases

New measures receive RTF and BPA

approval to be included in programs

• Development and approval of new measures

• Demonstration projects with Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) and universities

PROGRAM OPERATIONS

TECHNOLOGY PIPELINE

MARKETING SUPPORT FOR

UTILITIES AND TRADE ALLIES• Marketing collateral, product sheets, mailers

• Online customizable marketing collateral tool

Demonstration/research projects completed

Marketing collateral and information resources

developed

Irrigators contacted, trade allies contacted, and

meetings and outreach events attended

Utilities continue to offer agricultural rebate

programs to their customers

BPA, Regional Technical Forum (RTF), and irrigators

have increased confidence in energy savings

estimates from existing and new technologies (e.g.,

SIS, LESA/LEPA)

BPA provides administrative guidance, technical

support, and tools to utilities to enable deemed

measures and custom projects to receive incentives

Irrigators receive rebates for implementing

irrigation hardware, energy-efficient irrigation

practices, and custom projects

Irrigators are more willing to try new energy-saving

irrigation practices and measures

1. BPA achieves regional energy savings

targets

2. BPA supports utilities in enabling their

agricultural customers to save energy

TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR UTILITIES

OUTREACH & COLLABORATION• Networking with vendors, trade allies, and other market actors

• Agricultural program specialists’ (APS) direct outreach to irrigators

• Regional collaboration

• Market research

• Program evaluation
