| 1 | | standards, both current and projected. | 2 | | (2) The procurement plan components described in | 3 | | subsection (b) of Section 16-111.5 shall also include an | 4 | | assessment of opportunities to expand the programs | 5 | | promoting energy efficiency measures that have been | 6 | | offered under plans approved pursuant to Section 8-103 of | 7 | | this Act or to implement additional cost-effective energy | 8 | | efficiency programs or measures. | 9 | | (3) In addition to the information provided pursuant to | 10 | | paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section 16-111.5 of this | 11 | | Act, each Illinois utility procuring power pursuant to that | 12 | | Section shall annually provide to the Illinois Power Agency | 13 | | by July 15 of each year, or such other date as may be | 14 | | required by the Commission or Agency, an assessment of | 15 | | cost-effective energy efficiency programs or measures that | 16 | | could be included in the procurement plan. The assessment | 17 | | shall include the following: | 18 | | (A) A comprehensive energy efficiency potential | 19 | | study for the utility's service territory that was | 20 | | completed within the past 3 years. | 21 | | (B) Beginning in 2014, the most recent analysis | 22 | | submitted pursuant to Section 8-103A of this Act and | 23 | | approved by the Commission under subsection (f) of | 24 | | Section 8-103 of this Act. | 25 | | (C) Identification of new or expanded | 26 | | cost-effective energy efficiency programs or measures |
| | | 09700SB3811sam001 | - 3 - | LRB097 19963 CEL 67818 a |
|
| 1 | | that are incremental to those included in energy | 2 | | efficiency and demand-response plans approved by the | 3 | | Commission pursuant to Section 8-103 of this Act and | 4 | | that would be offered to all retail customers whose | 5 | | electric service has not been declared competitive | 6 | | under Section 16-113 of this Act and who are eligible | 7 | | to purchase power and energy from the utility under | 8 | | fixed-price bundled service tariffs, regardless of | 9 | | whether such customers actually do purchase such power | 10 | | and energy from the utility eligible retail customers . | 11 | | (D) Analysis showing that the new or expanded | 12 | | cost-effective energy efficiency programs or measures | 13 | | would lead to a reduction in the overall cost of | 14 | | electric service. | 15 | | (E) Analysis of how the cost of procuring | 16 | | additional cost-effective energy efficiency measures | 17 | | compares over the life of the measures to the | 18 | | prevailing cost of comparable supply. | 19 | | (F) An energy savings goal, expressed in | 20 | | megawatt-hours, for the year in which the measures will | 21 | | be implemented. | 22 | | (G) For each expanded or new program, the estimated | 23 | | amount that the program may reduce the agency's need to | 24 | | procure supply. | 25 | | In preparing such assessments, a utility shall conduct | 26 | | an annual solicitation process for purposes of requesting |
| | | 09700SB3811sam001 | - 4 - | LRB097 19963 CEL 67818 a |
|
| 1 | | proposals from third-party vendors, the results of which | 2 | | shall be provided to the Agency as part of the assessment, | 3 | | including documentation of all bids received. The utility | 4 | | shall develop requests for proposals consistent with the | 5 | | manner in which it develops requests for proposals under | 6 | | plans approved pursuant to Section 8-103 of this Act, which | 7 | | considers input from the Agency and interested | 8 | | stakeholders. | 9 | | (4) The Illinois Power Agency shall include in the | 10 | | procurement plan prepared pursuant to paragraph (2) of | 11 | | subsection (d) of Section 16-111.5 of this Act energy | 12 | | efficiency programs and measures it determines are | 13 | | cost-effective and the associated annual energy savings | 14 | | goal included in the annual solicitation process and | 15 | | assessment submitted pursuant to paragraph (3) of this | 16 | | subsection (a). | 17 | | (5) Pursuant to paragraph (4) of subsection (d) of | 18 | | Section 16-111.5 of this Act, the Commission shall also | 19 | | approve the energy efficiency programs and measures | 20 | | included in the procurement plan, including the annual | 21 | | energy savings goal, if the Commission determines they | 22 | | fully capture the potential for all achievable | 23 | | cost-effective savings, to the extent practicable, and | 24 | | otherwise satisfy the requirements of Section 8-103 of this | 25 | | Act. | 26 | | In the event the Commission approves the procurement of |
| | | 09700SB3811sam001 | - 5 - | LRB097 19963 CEL 67818 a |
|
| 1 | | additional energy efficiency, it shall reduce the amount of | 2 | | power to be procured under the procurement plan to reflect | 3 | | the additional energy efficiency and shall direct the | 4 | | utility to undertake the procurement of such energy | 5 | | efficiency, which shall not be subject to the requirements | 6 | | of subsection (e) of Section 16-111.5 of this Act. The | 7 | | utility shall consider input from the Agency and interested | 8 | | stakeholders on the procurement and administration | 9 | | process. | 10 | | (6) An electric utility shall recover its costs | 11 | | incurred under this Section related to the implementation | 12 | | of energy efficiency programs and measures approved by the | 13 | | Commission in its order approving the procurement plan | 14 | | under Section 16-111.5 of this Act, including, but not | 15 | | limited to, all costs associated with complying with this | 16 | | Section and all start-up and administrative costs and the | 17 | | costs for any evaluation, measurement, and verification of | 18 | | the measures, from all retail customers whose electric | 19 | | service has not been declared competitive under Section | 20 | | 16-113 of this Act and who are eligible to purchase power | 21 | | and energy from the utility under fixed-price bundled | 22 | | service tariffs, regardless of whether such customers | 23 | | actually do purchase such power and energy from the utility | 24 | | eligible retail customers through the automatic adjustment | 25 | | clause tariff established pursuant to Section 8-103 of this | 26 | | Act, provided, however, that the limitations described in |
| | | 09700SB3811sam001 | - 6 - | LRB097 19963 CEL 67818 a |
|
| 1 | | subsection (d) of that Section shall not apply to the costs | 2 | | incurred pursuant to this Section or Section 16-111.7 of | 3 | | this Act. | 4 | | (b) For purposes of this Section, the term "energy | 5 | | efficiency" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1-10 of | 6 | | the Illinois Power Agency Act, and the term "cost-effective" | 7 | | shall have the meaning set forth in subsection (a) of Section | 8 | | 8-103 of this Act. In addition, the estimated costs to acquire | 9 | | an additional energy efficiency measure, when divided by the | 10 | | number of kilowatt-hours expected to be saved over the life of | 11 | | the measure, shall be less than or equal to the electricity | 12 | | costs that would be avoided as a result of the energy | 13 | | efficiency measure.
