UNDOCKETED - EVALUATION OF THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF UTILITY-SPONSORED ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND DEMAND-SIDE MANAGMENT PROGRAMS. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss how the costs and benefits of utility-sponsored energy efficiency and demand-side programs should be evaluated. Various methods to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of utility-sponsored energy will be discussed, includeing (1) what each method is designed to achieve, (2) whether these methods are capturing all the benefits and costs of energy efficiency, (3) how these methods impact the level of conservation goals, (4) whether these methods should be modified to address other concerns, and (5) inclusion and quantification of non-economic costs and benefits. The Commission's staff encourages an open dialog at the workshop from a wide range of stakeholders on how cost-effectiveness measures can be modified to enhance energy efficiency and conservation efforts in Florida. Workshop participants will also be provided with an opportunity to submit post-workshop written comments.
