Is there any guidance as to the attribution, for reporting purposes, of energy savings between utilities and ARRA funding sources for programs using a combination of utility funds and ARRA funds?
Generally speaking, if the utility funds were used along with Recovery Act funds in execution of a Recovery Act project, energy savings would be determined from the entire project value (not just the Recovery Act supported portion). As stated on page 7 Section 6.2.2 Reported Metrics of DOE RECOVERY ACT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE ENERGY PROGRAM (SEP)(SEP Program Notice 10-06) and page 7 Section 6.2.3 Reported Metrics of DOE RECOVERY ACT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION BLOCK GRANT (EECBG) PROGRAM (EECBG Program Notice 10-07A): “In determining [the metrics required for reporting], recipients should consider the impact of funds for the entire project, including non-Federal (“leveraged”) funds in addition to [EECBG] or SEP funds. In this manner, DOE will be able to accurately measure the full impact of Recovery Act funding.” Also covered under PAGE (www.page.energy.gov) FAQs (Metrics (EECBG): General Guidelines): “Question: Make clearer what is me
