Measures and investment options for community energy conservation: Strategies with a municipally owned utility

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5977781
The purpose of this project is to evaluate and determine the costs and benefits of residential energy conservation strategies in San Antonio and their financial impact upon the municipal utility, the ratepayers, and the City. This process requires the identification of energy conservation strategies and their impact on local single family housing kilowatt (KW) and kilowatt-hours (KWH) consumption. The assessment involves the usage of two computer programs to assess energy consumption and to produce dollar costs and savings associated with individual energy conservation measures. The purpose of this assessment is to produce a ''best-set'' of residential energy conservation and efficiency strategies for the City of San Antonio. This report is intended to provide quantitative data associated with energy conservation strategies and a guide for local governments with: (1) an overview of residential energy conservation programs; (2) the analytical steps involved in identifying cost-effective measures; (3) the load forecast and generation data required; (4) the range of participation levels; and (5) the economic ''best-set'' options available to the City and the municipal utility. 17 refs., 11 figs., 21 tabs.
