Proposed Scenarios
The CPUC hosted a webinar to outline and discuss draft forecast scenarios under consideration for the 2025 Potential and Goals Study.
The Potential and Goals Study team greatly values written stakeholder feedback on these proposed scenarios, as well as other topics, informal written comments are due by October 4, 2024 via email to ali.choukeir@cpuc.ca.gov, william.graswich@cpuc.ca.gov and npodkowsky@guidehouse.com.
Please consider the following questions when writing your comments:
- Based on the presentation summary, do the CPUC staff proposed scenarios capture a reasonable range that can inform goal setting?
- C-E thresholds?
- Incentive levels?
- What key variables should be the focus of scenario design?
- Are there any structural factors that play into current PA goal attainment levels that should inform the study?
- CPUC staff aim to choose 4 scenarios - do you have suggestions for specific scenarios to consider?
- Do you agree with our proposed approach for modeling CARB's proposed zero-emission standard for space and water heaters?
- Should we model the proposed 2027 component differently? If so, how?
- Our analysis of FS potential will again incorporate the TECH incentives, reducing effective measure cost. Do you agree with this approach? Should other approaches or non-IOU incentives be considered?
- Is our inclusion of IRA tax credits statistics for the Residential Sector reasonable, including as a basis for our proposed high-IRA Scenario?
Past Workshops and Stakeholder Engagement
Measure Characterization
We are soliciting informal stakeholder comments and feedback on the proposed Residential and Commercial (ResCom) Measure List.
Stakeholders may comment directly in the designated stakeholder comment column in Excel and e-mail the file as a response. Stakeholders may also provide comments in written format outside of Excel, though we ask that you cite specific measure names where possible. Please consider the following questions when writing your comments:
- Are there additional measures or technologies that should be included? Or proposed measures that should be excluded?
- If so, which are the highest priority to incorporate into the 2025 Study?
- Do you have program and measure (including fuel substitution) data to share that’s not available via eTRM/DEER/Workpapers or CEDARS?
