Low Interest Loan Revised RFP and sent to financial institutions Contract negotiations with First Credit Union Could launch as early as May 15 10
Low Income Energy Efficiency Program (LEEP) Rebate up to $2750 per house plus applicable rebates NW 8 homes selected from 10 SW 4 homes selected from 4 NE 15 homes selected from 28 SE 13 homes selected from 39 All homes have been assigned to the contractors 11
Pilot Lessons Learned (thus far) Not everyone classified as low income is in need of this assistance Looking at four geographic sectors helped us better clarify needs criteria: Regardless of income, energy efficiency improvement needs were greatest in areas of older, dilapidated housing stock (Northeast and Southeast) Future program, considerations should include: Income Age and condition of building envelope Age and condition of appliances Better processes are needed to qualify applicants Some organizations did this for us at no charge to GRU others wanted to charge $150 per applicant 12
Pilot Lessons Learned (thus far) Staff did not include time and cost for permits in budget, for example; $150 AC $60 insulation We are way ahead of where many others are in nation in developing this type program 13
Regulation Continuing discussion with Community Development Committee on ways to get energy efficiency improvements in single family homes, especially rentals 14

Working Assumptions: Demand Side Management and Energy Supply Planning May 10, 2007
Presentation Outline Conservation assumptions Review of policy Working assumptions Impacts 2
City Commission Direction On April 12, 2006 The Gainesville City Commission directed staff to: 1. Include the Total Resource Cost test as a consideration to pursue all cost effective and feasible demand side measures including demand response, energy efficiency, load management and innovative rate design options. Ensure that the needs of low income customers are addressed in demand side management programs. 2. Have GRU staff conduct a thorough examination of all DSM options and present a plan to the commission to develop and implement all cost effective DSM and demand response measures... 3
Working Assumptions Utilize the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test as economic criterion Remain open to new technologies Do not rely on unproven technology Energy efficiency contributes to meeting carbon goals 4
Working Assumptions ICF report represents the best available estimate of cost-effective energy efficiency potential at this time Staff is strenuously pursuing better data Appliance saturation studies FMEC joint studies Load research 5
ICF Study Results Capacity 88 MW By 2025 Energy 254,000 MWH By 2025 Financial Incentives 2007-2025 $64,100,000 NPV 2003$ Program Administration* 2007-2025 $16,025,000 NPV 2003$ Total $80,125,000 NPV 2003$ *Taken as 25% of Financial Incentives 6
Electric Efficiency Target Use ICF results as targets for the maximum cost effective energy conservation and demand reduction pending further study Reduce demand for electrical energy by 10% by 2015 Reduce the growth in demand by 70% through 2015 7
