Description (excerpt):
On behalf of the Council, the Regional Technical Forum (RTF) conducts an annual data collection of the region’s energy efficiency programs to understand the savings from energy efficiency and associated expenditures from the prior year. This process to collect and report this data is known as the Regional Conservation Progress (RCP) survey and report. The purpose of the RCP is to track and report on the region’s progress relative to the Council’s Power Plan goals.
At this meeting, staff will present the 2023 RCP report, which provides an update on the second year of the region’s progress relative to the energy efficiency goals in the Council’s 2021 Power Plan. The report comprises data from all the efficiency programs in the region, including Bonneville and its customer utilities, investor-owned utilities in the region, the midColumbia utilities, Energy Trust of Oregon, and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA). In addition, when available, the RCP report includes data on the total market savings, capturing additional savings occurring outside of direct program acquisition. These data provide an understanding of the cost-effective energy efficiency savings acquired in the region and related expenditures for 2023.
