Savings from Many MechanismsSlide3
Today’s PresentationShort history and “primer” on federal efficiency standards for appliances, equipment and lightingWhy standards are important mechanism for capturing savingsHistorical and projected impact of federal efficiency standards on regional loadsSlide4
Legislative History of Federal Appliance Standards
Energy Policy and Conservation Act (
EPCA)
establishes of test procedures, labeling, and energy targets for consumer products. Standards
to follow
if voluntary targets aren’t met.
EPCA
amended. Directs Department
of Energy (DOE) to establish energy conservation standards for consumer products.
The National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 (NAECA)
establishes minimum efficiency standards for common household appliances and DOE review sched
ules
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (
EPAct
) adds standards for some fluorescent and incandescent reflector lamps, plumbing products, electric motors, commercial water heaters, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. EPAct also authorized DOE to develop of standards for additional products.
Energy Policy Act 2005
sets new standards for 16 products and directed DOE to set standards via rulemaking for another five.
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA 2007
), enacted new or updated standards for 13 products. EISA also included a requirement that DOE maintain a schedule to regularly review and update all standards and test procedures.

More New Standards Set by Congress
States file lawsuit against DOE for failure to update standards on mandated schedule
DOE authorized to set efficiency targets and standards
DOE falls behind on updating over 25 standards
DOE, under court supervised schedule, gets on track Slide6
Current StatusCurrently there are minimum energy efficiency standards for more than 50 categories of appliances and equipment. Products covered by standards represent about 90% of home energy use, 60% of commercial building use, and 29% of industrial energy use.DOE must now review each product standard every six years to determine whether it should be revisedSlide7

Why Federal Efficiency Standards Are ValuableLower Cost – Standards produce savings at lower “total cost” because they avoid program administrative costs.Larger Savings -- Standards effect the entire market while programs effect only a portion of the market resulting in greater total savings for comparable improvements in efficiencyGreater Equity
-- The “compliance cost” of meeting a standard is borne by the consumers who benefit from the increased efficiency.Slide9

Total Savings Forecast from Federal Standards Add Up to 780 Average Megawatts by 2029Slide22
Federal Standards Adopted The Since Sixth Plan Capture One Quarter of The Twenty-Year Lost-Opportunity PotentialSlide23
Implication for the Seventh PlanCompared to the Sixth Plan:Load forecast will be lower, particularly over the long termRemaining conservation potential will be lowerBut not as much lower as the load forecast, since standard impact all units, but conservation assessment assumes less than 100% program successConservation programs will need adjust their focus to measures less impacted by federal standards
