efficiency potential; (b) develop processes to align incentives equally for demand-side<br />

management (“DSM”) and supply resources; (c) set energy savings goals consistent<br />

with cost-effective potential; (d) establish appropriate evaluation, measurement and<br />

verification mechanisms; (e) establish effective DSM measures by residences and<br />

businesses in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Orleans</strong>; (f) align customer pricing and incentives to encourage<br />

investment in energy efficiency; and (g) provide sufficient, timely and stable <strong>program</strong><br />

funding to deliver energy efficiency <strong>program</strong>s where cost effective. 1<br />
