Gas Decision - D.23-04-035
This report summarizes the results of a series of technical meetings held with California Energy Efficiency Program Administrators and facilitated by the California Technical Forum staff. These meetings were held to develop a consistent approach and set of assumptions for completing cost effectiveness analysis of new construction gas measures and complete the analysis necessary to comply with D.23-04-035 OP2, which states:
“Within 60 days after the issue date of this decision, the program administrator lead for each non-exempt natural gas new construction measure, whether it is [list of each PA], must file a document that identifies the Total Resource Cost benefit to cost ratio (based on the Cost Effectiveness Tool) for each deemed electronic Technical Reference Manual measure package permutation of non-exempt natural gas new construction measures with all available known costs. For administrative costs, the program administrators must agree on a consistent approach, either to use an average of administrative costs or to use the lowest of all program administrators’ administrative costs to calculate the Total Resource Cost benefit to cost ratio.”
Completion of this analysis involved three main steps:
Identifying non-exempt gas measure permutations
Approach to allocation of Admin Costs
Assumptions and methodology for calculating Total Resource Cost (TRC)
