Achievable Conservation Potential in New York State from Utility Demand-SideManagement Programs

摘要

The report presents results from the third phase of a research project that theEnergy Authority has sponsored with ACEEE on 'demand-side management' through which utilities seek to achieve electricity conservation and load management in their customer's facilities. The report combines the data from the first two studies to estimate the costs and savings of 'maximum impact' DSM programs that use the best techniques to capture the largest possible technical savings potential while remaining cost-effective to both utilities and society. The features of maximum-impact DSM programs include high rebate levels, extensive personal marketing, use of new technologies, and direct installation approaches through which identification, installation, and financing of comprehensive DSM measures are provided in a single, integrated service.
