Forecast Method Estimate Residential and Commercial SAE Models Used NV Energy appliance saturation surveys and commercial audits in developing the historical database Developed separate multi-family and single family SAE databases Used employment categories to estimate commercial end-use intensities for small commercial and large commercial revenue classes Adjusted end-use intensity for Nevada lighting standards (stricter than Federal standards) Captured forecasted DSM savings through the end-use and housing structure intensity projections 5
Nevada recently passed legislation requiring higher lumen per watt input than Federal standards Federal Nevada 6

Cumulative Efficiency Program Spending Average expenditure: $23.3 million Average expenditure: $6.2 million 10
How Much Future DSM is Embedded in the Forecast? Efficiency expenditures have been ramping up while the economy has been ramping down Nearly impossible to untangle the impact of efficiency from changing economic conditions We know that t subtracting ti out future DSM savings would result in double-counting efficiency program impacts 11 We assume that the estimated models (baseline forecast) are capturing half of future program efficiency savings projections Average annual expenditures es over the last eight years is $29.5 million compared with forecasted expenditures (2012 to 2015) of $36.0 million dollars Lower average expenditures over the entire estimation range (1998 to 2011)
Incorporating Efficiency Program Savings 12 1. Develop end-use energy forecasts from the baseline SAE forecast model (forecast includes the impact of new standards) For each end-use calculate average use per customer 2. Subtract out cumulative adjusted DSM end-use savings projections from the baseline end-use energy forecast For each end-use calculate the adjusted average use per customer 3. Adjust end-use intensity projections to reflect differences in average use growth Residential: use per household Commercial: use per sq ft (scaled to customer average use) 4. Execute SAE models with adjusted intensity projections
