2 Inland Power and Light Co. Methodology: Per WAC (3) briefly describe the methodology used to establish the utility's ten-year potential and biennial target to capture cost-effective conservation, including the share of this target to be captured by efficiency improvements in customer measures, and, if any, in distribution measures and production measures. Inland is a rural electric cooperative serving approximately 39,000 accounts. While there are several important factors that differentiate Inland from many load serving entities in the Pacific Northwest, one of the most important features is its customer mix. The residential sector accounts for approximately 90% of the member accounts and 75% of electric sales. In addition, Inland's members are mostly in rural areas, 42% are classified as "low income" and 27% live in manufactured homes. Because Inland's service territory is unique, the targets identified in this report were developed for each sector using an approach that best addresses the customer mix and sector profile. Targets for the commercial and agriculture sectors were calculated using the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's (NWPCC) Fifth Power Plan calculator. The calculator components and the resulting targets were not modified for the commercial and agriculture sectors. The modified calculator option was employed to calculate the residential sector target. It was implemented using primary research about Inland's residential members including a Customer Efficiency Study performed by a qualified third party. To perform the detailed analysis for the residential sector, the following steps were taken: 1. Develop a current snapshot of how Inland s members use electricity today. These are referred to as market profiles. 2. Develop a forecast of how Inland s members are expected to use electricity in the future in absence of new utility conservation programs. The forecast takes into account a variety of technology and forecast data. 3. Identify technologies and measures or actions that could provide cost effective energy conservation in the future. Measure characteristics were assembled utilizing the NWPCC Draft Sixth Power Plan as they were deemed to be the most current data available for integration into the comprehensive approach described below. 4. Quantify conservation savings by technology and measure. 5. Compare savings estimates with the NWPCC calculator. All calculations and analysis referenced above were performed by Global Partners, a consultancy specializing in conservation potential assessment, with the exception of the Customer Efficiency Study, which was completed by Robinson Research. Savings in all sectors is anticipated to come solely from implementation of customer measures. Inland's conservation targets for the biennial were adopted by resolution of Inland's Board of Trustees in a public meeting held on October 26, Inland To request Power supporting and Light documentation Co. or additional information please

3 Conservation Notes: The conservation utility expenditures listed in this report do not represent the entire cost of acquiring kilowatt hour savings. The costs listed above are only those incurred directly by the utility and must be combined with those expenses incurred by the end user, utility customer, for implementing conservation measures to accurately portray the full cost of kilowatt hours saved. Costs incurred by the utility typically represent less than half the cost of implementing conservation measures. Costs listed on the line titled " Program Management Expenses" include labor and labor related costs, travel costs for meetings and training, costs to educate and inform customers of conservation methods and costs related to compliance and reporting.
