Purpose

• Supplemental to CDM Code

• Provide more information– CDM Targets– Duplication– Reporting– Educational Programs– Pilot Programs– Program Development Costs– Other Funding Sources– Lost Revenues

3

CDM Targets

• Time-of-Use– No Board-Approved Program applications necessary– OPA to conduct EM&V– Results to be conveyed to LDCs

• Pre-2011 OPA Programs

Board-Approved CDM Programs

• Duplication• Educational Programs• Pilot Programs• Evaluation Plans• Program Development Costs• Other Funding Sources

Reporting

• CDM Annual Reports – Filed by September 30th – CDM Annual Report template

CDM Load Forecasting

• CDM is expected to be included in load forecast• Historical impacts• Portion of CDM targets• Identify CDM impacts by class• Example of Enersource (EB-2012-0033) load forecast

(GWh target = 417.22)

7

Lost Revenues

• LRAMVA established• LRAM structure similar to Natural Gas DSM• Symmetrical• LDCs expected to include CDM component in

their load forecast at the rate class level• At a minimum, LDCs must apply for disposition of

LRAMVA at time of rebasing; may apply sooner

8

LRAMVA

• Lost revenue calculation:– First determine eligible lost revenues (either

recoverable by the LDC or payable to the ratepayer) by subtracting the final, verified savings figure from the CDM component included in the load forecast

– Next, apply, by customer class, the LDC’s Board-approved variable distribution charge applicable to that class to the volumetric variance (positive or negative) noted above

9

LRAM for Pre-CDM Code Activities

• Completed with 2012 rate applications– Exception for persisting impacts after 2010– Only for those LDCs who have not rebased

• SSM for pre-CDM Code activities complete with 2012 rate applications

10

Helpful Tips

• Ensure that a portion of your GWh CDM target has been included in the load forecast

• Use the LRAMVA filing requirements as a check-list of included items
