Electric utility conservation programs: assessment of implementation experience. Volume 1. Project overview and major findings. Final report
The primary focus of the project was to identify the lessons learned by 13 case study utilities in conservation program design, operation, marketing/communication, and evaluation. The project also addressed the influence of utility system characteristics and their environmental factors on conservation program goals, and examined the degree to which benefit/cost analysis and market research were used in program design and marketing. Conservation programs have been classified in this project into five types: information programs, direct technical assistance, financial incentives, rates and demonstration programs. A summary and synthesis of the experience of the case study utilities in implementing these programs has been provided, emphasizing both strategic and tactical considerations.
