This report describes the activities of the first year of operation of the California Municipal Utility Residential Energy Conservation Project. The project, designed to foster residential energy conservation through the cooperative efforts of small utilities, is a five-year program of the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), a group of eleven municipal utilities and one rural electric cooperative. The report consists of four parts. Part 1 delineates the goals for Year One, including the development of retrofit insulation and financing programs, and the progress made toward reaching those goals. Part 2 describes program implementation in the first NCPA grant-funded city, Palo Alto, California, including the customer-incentive methodology employed. Part 3 is an exhibit of the forms, procedures, and publicity Palo Alto developed for its Weatherization Program. Part 4 discusses the results of the Palo Alto program.
