Rethinking Energy Savings: Exploring the Shift from Estimated to Data-Driven Approaches with Smart Meter Insights
Moderator: Lark Lee, Tetra Tech
Speakers:
Adam Grant, NV Energy
Chris Pollow, Idaho Power
Carmen Best, Recurve
Garry Jones, Oncor
As energy efficiency becomes integral to the grid reliability conversation and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rolls out across the country, policy makers, regulators and administrators are assessing how to build trust in energy savings and demand reductions. Questions include: How reliable are current deemed savings? Can programs move from a deemed savings approach to a measured model? Are certain program types better suited to AMI measured or deemed savings? Moderated by a subject matter expert to foster lively discussion, panelists with direct experience discuss their perspectives on the evolution of the use of AMI meter data and deemed savings.
Learning Objectives:
-Explain the differences between deemed savings and measured savings approaches in the context of AMI deployment and energy efficiency programs.
-Evaluate the suitability of various energy efficiency program types for either deemed or measured savings models using real-world examples discussed by panelists.
-Develop a policy recommendation framework that integrates AMI data to enhance trust and reliability in energy savings for utility programs.
