FEI-FEVI 2010 EEC Report filed March 31, 2011 - FortisBC

FORTISBC ENERGY INC. AND FORTISBC ENERGY (VANCOUVER ISLAND) INC.
2010 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION ANNUAL REPORT
• From April 2010 through March 31, 2011 the Companies have contributed partial funding
to building envelope measures with a forecasted contribution of $657,000 and an
estimate of 246,000 GJs saved over the lifetime of these measures. Since we did not
receive invoices for the 2010 iteration until January 2011 neither costs nor savings were
captured in the 2010 EEC portfolio and all forecasted savings will be reported in 2011.
In 2009 and 2010, FEI collaborated with FortisBC Inc. on programs for energy and hot water
efficient washing machines. In addition, the Companies collaborated on the Water Saver’s pilot
that distributed ultra low flow showerheads to rural customers. FEI’s participation extended the
program’s reach to customers heating water with natural gas.
The City of Vancouver Weatherization pilot was co-funded by the City of Vancouver, BC Hydro,
and FEI to take an initial look at capacity building for the weatherization industry in both creating
customer demand and servicing this demand with skilled practitioners. The program was also
conducted in collaboration with EMBERS, a non-profit employment and self-employment
development organization in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. The program combines the
benefits of energy savings, green jobs, and training for individuals who may face barriers to
employment.
7.3 2011 Joint Initiatives Outlook
For the purpose of consistency, in the 2011 outlook, the Joint Initiatives program area will
continue to focus on the residential market, with some limited discussion of a commercial area
joint initiative that is in a preliminary design stage. Table 7-3 provides an overview of 2011
residential joint initiatives programs that include LiveSmart BC and ENERGY STAR® washer
programs with utility partners.
