Abstract

The State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program (SEEARP) reports database includes rebate reports (xls) and summary factsheets (pdf) from states and territories that participated in SEEARP. With funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) developed SEEARP to spur economic activity and invest in long-term energy savings by helping consumers replace older, inefficient appliances with new, efficient models. SEEARP provided almost $300 million to the 56 U.S. states and territories to support state-level consumer rebate programs for efficient appliances from December 1, 2009 to February 17, 2012. The successes and challenges of SEEARP provide valuable lessons for designing and running a consumer-focused appliance rebate program. In addition to the SEEARP reports database, the two reports included provide a results and program design lessons.

Appliance efficiency programs: Beyond rebates

Journal Article Anderson, K

In 1986, the Bonneville Power Administration developed a program for making it easier for the consumer to identify and purchase energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers. This is done in close cooperation with the retailer by tagging those models which tested in the top 15% of energy efficiency. The models labeled energy-efficient are updated every six months. When this program was evaluated, it was found that approximately 22% of customers were influenced in their selection based on the Bonneville identification. The author also mentions DOE's new standards for refrigerator efficiency in conjunction with the National Appliance Efficiency Act, which will go intomore » effect 1993.« less
Household`s choices of efficiency levels for appliances: Using stated- and revealed-preference data to identify the importance of rebates and financing arrangements

Technical Report Train, K ; Atherton, T

We examine customers` choice between standard and high-efficiency equipment, and the impact of utility incentives such as rebates and loans on this decision. Using data from interviews with 400 households, we identify the factors that customers consider in their choice of efficiency level for appliances and the relative importance of these factors. We build a model that describes customers` choices and can be used to predict choices in future situations under changes in the attributes of appliances and in the utility`s DSM and as part of the appliance-choice component of utilities` end-use forecasting systems. As examples, the model is usedmore »« less
Rebates, loans, and consumers` choice of appliance efficiency level: Combining stated and revealed-preference data

Journal Article Train, K E ; Atherton, T - Energy Journal

Residential customers` choice of efficiency level for appliances, and their participation in demand-side management (DSM) programs, are examined using data on customers` stated preferences in hypothetical (i.e., conjoint-type) situations and their revealed preferences in real-world choices. The analysis provides information on customers` willingness to pay for energy savings, the importance of rebates in customers` decisions, and customers` response to DSM programs that offer loans for purchases of high-efficiency appliances. An estimated model is used to forecast the decisions of customers under: higher rebates, replacement of rebates with finance programs, offering of loans and rebates as alternative options for customers, andmore »« less

A compendium of utility-sponsored energy efficiency rebate programs: Final report

Technical Report Berman, E ; Cooper, M ; Geller, H

Rebate programs are becoming increasingly popular among utilities across the country as a method to persuade customers to purchase more energy efficient appliances, space conditioning systems, lighting products and motors. While there is substantial experience with and interest in utility rebate programs, utilities and other organizations lack comprehensive information on other utility-sponsored energy efficient rebate programs. The authors developed this Compendium to fill that gap. This Compendium contains information on 59 energy efficiency rebate programs, based upon a survey of 157 utilities. The information on each rebate program has been cross-tabulated and analyzed to identify such variables as program characteristics,more »« less
