Market Studies Needs Assessment

(1)

 Objective

 To allow Commission Staff to collect data on key markets at regular intervals, identify and field high-priority market research within the 2013-2014 cycle, and track market research across contracts groups and evaluation efforts.

 Research Questions

 Within which markets do the CPUC /IOUs already have good data?

 Which market studies are worthwhile for the CPUC /IOUs to undertake and what is their relative priority?

 What is an appropriate framework for conducting market study research and what are the structural and communication requirements of such a framework?

Residential Spillover

 Objective

 To produce spillover estimates for the residential sector and to verify CPUC assumption of a 5% spillover value

 Research Questions

 What energy efficient measures are being installed without use of program incentives or as a direct result of program intervention?

 Why did customers install/purchase these measures without program support?

 What savings result from participant and non-participant spillover?

 What percent of those savings are attributable to program interventions?

 Current Status – budget allocated for the following tasks:

 Write full EM&V plan

 Create participant self-report survey battery

 Work with other EM&V consultants to include battery in planned surveys
