Review of the demand-side management plans of four New York utilities
In this study, we review the DSM (Demand Side Management) plans of four utilities: Consolidated Edison (Con Ed), Rochester Gas and Electric (RGandE), New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG), and Niagara Mohawk Power Company (NMPC). The study begins with an overview of the evaluation framework for DSM planning and a summary of the current load/resource balance of the NY utilities in order to provide a yardstick and context for our review of the four utility plans. We then examine the DSM plans of the individual utilities in some detail: the technical and market potential for conservation, cost-effective programs in each sector, relative impact on future load growth, and efficiency options that are not included in the plans. Finally, we offer some suggestions for improving DSM plans in the areas of data reporting, data quality, and analysis/methodology. 33 refs., 9 tabs.
