How are DSM and EE projects evaluated?
Until the PUC finalizes the rulemaking regarding these projects, they are evaluated on a project by project basis. Please fill out an application from the AEPS website and explain the project. Please also refer to the TRM (Technical Reference Manual) to calculate savings. The Program Administrator will then evaluate the project and outline the number of AECs the project would qualify for, detail how/when the AECs would be earned, and calculate any depreciation in the number of credits available for each energy year. The Program Administrator can also determine if the program qualifies for receiving all of the AECs in one group, in which case the certification number issued for the project would only be used once. These determinations would be proposed to the PUC and a final course of action would be determined.
