program plan - Entergy New Orleans, Inc.

Executive Summary
Entergy New Orleans (“ENO”) Entergy Louisiana-Algiers (ELL) , have developed a three-year plan for the
implementation of electric Demand Side Management (DSM) programs for the program years 2014-2017 1
based on the output of the IRP process and public input received to date.. Through this process, the
CLEAResult worked with the intent of delivering a plan that satisfies the DSM goals identified in the 2012
Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and is representative of public input, while working within the framework
for DSM program delivery established in the previously developed Council rules for DSM planning. The
following report describes in detail the planned ENO and ELL-Algiers portfolio of Residential and Non-
Residential energy efficiency programs.
The 2014-2017 portfolio includes six (6) Residential and two (2) Commercial & Industrial programs
targeting a total estimated annual gross savings of 18,984,923 kWh in the first year at a cost of $5,089,742.
Cumulative annual portfolio savings are 56,286,258 gross kWh with an overall three year cost of
$14,988,220.
Residential Programs
• Home Performance with ENERGY STAR: Formerly, Residential Solutions, this officially
sponsored HPwES program aligns with the ongoing DOE’s requirements changes and offers a whole
home approach for single family unit customers. The program model acquires savings from both the
shallow measures such as those which are directly installed, as well as deeper savings measures with
longer measures lives yielding a more enduring energy savings within the territory.
• Consumer Products: This retail channel program initiative includes lighting and room A/C measures
for this plan cycle. The program will lay the foundation for developing retailer and manufacturer
partnerships supporting the integration of additional measures during the next program cycle.
• Multi-Family Weatherization: The Multi-Family Weatherization program initiative provides direct
installation of instant savings measures and weatherization to buildings with individually metered units
through a streamlined assessment and customer process focused on the property manager. In this more
comprehensive offering, the property manager is targeted through an aggressive incentive design that
encourages investment in all program measures. The measures included in this program target shallow
savings as well as the deeper savings achieved through insulation measures.
• Low Income Audit & Weatherization: This program targets a hard to reach income qualified
segment of the market with significant weatherization of single family and multi-family units up to a
maximum of $2,500 incentives per unit. Unlike low income programs implemented in other
jurisdictions, the Energy Smart Low Income Audit & Weatherization program directly manages the
installation contractor and inspects nearly 100% of installed measures assuring a high quality and
customer satisfaction.
• School Kits & Energy Education: Energy Smart will partner with local p organizations to deliver
energy education and energy conservation kits to fifth through seventh grade class rooms in Orleans
Parish schools. Savings will be claimed as measures are installed and self-reported by those students’
families via an online system via the Energy Smart web site.
• Residential Heating & Cooling: Implemented with the Small Commercial A/C tune-up measure, this
program initiative will use DSM industry best practices for delivery of tune-ups using an M&V approach
to generate measured savings. This program also combines the Tune Up programs with incentives to
purchase high efficiency air conditioner.
Commercial & Industrial Programs
• Large Commercial & Industrial: the Large Commercial & Industrial program maintains some of the
existing program design with facility audits and incentives for a suite of common energy efficiency
measures, but is evolved into a more sophisticated offering with the addition of energy master planning
