CASE NO. 16-0403-E-P
MONONGAHELA POWER COMPANY and
THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY,
Petition for approval of a Phase II Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Plan.
PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPOSED ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION
PLAN AND COST OF PLAN
Monongahela Power Company (Mon Power) and The Potomac Edison Company (collectively, the Companies), public utilities who provide electric service to approximately 523,000 customers in West Virginia, have filed for approval of Phase II of an Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EEC) Plan. The Companies submitted the EEC Plan in accordance with commitments made in Commission-approved settlement agreements in Case Nos. 12-1571-E-PC and 13-1272-E-PW. The Companies propose Phase II of the EEC Plan will run from January 1, 2017 through May 31, 2018, and is budgeted to cost $9.9 million. The Companies are not asking for rate relief in the present case, but would ask for rate relief in a future proceeding if the Phase II EEC Plan is approved.
The Companies are currently implementing Phase I of the EEC Plan which includes two components: (i) a Residential Low-Income Program providing energy check-up audits, standard direct measures, and appliance replacement to low-income customers with household incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, and (ii) the Non-Residential High Efficiency Lighting Program which provides rebates for non-residential customers that install high efficiency lighting equipment.
Phase II of the Plan is designed to achieve a one percent cumulative gross savings by May 31, 2018, based on the average of its 2009 and 2013 distribution sales including the energy savings that will be achieved through the Phase I Plan. The Phase II Plan includes a new residential energy efficiency program with three subprograms (Energy Efficiency Kits, On-line Audit, and Lighting), a continuation of the existing Residential Low Income Program with the addition of new measures, and a continuation of the existing Non-Residential High Efficiency Lighting Program.
