Clean Energy Activity • Global Warming Solutions Act • Green Communities Act • IOU Energy Efficiency Programs • Renewable Portfolio Standard • Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard • Building Energy Codes • Green Communities Division • Zero Net Energy Buildings • Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative • MA Clean Energy Center • American Recovery and Reinvestment Act • Green Communities Division Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

ARRA – Highlights • High Performance Building Grants • 98 grants in process to cities and towns statewide • Enterprise Energy Management System • State facilities • Solar PV Investments Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Nation-Leading Energy Efficiency Plans • Green Communities Act (2008) Capture all cost effective energy efficiency • Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC)  25 public meetings  Commissioner Phil Giudice as Chair  11 voting members  Business, industry and environmental groups, residential energy users, state environmental and economic development officials, the Attorney General  Program Administrators • EEAC unanimously approves plans (10/09) • DPU approves plans (1/10) 6 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Three-Year Energy Efficiency Plans Green Communities Act (July 2008) promotes enhanced gas and electric energy efficiency throughout the Commonwealth •Program Administrators developed state-wide Three Year Plans providing for acquisition of all available cost effective energy efficiency The Three Year Plan reflects: •Aggressive – unprecedented – savings goals •A construct for gas/electric program integration and seamless delivery across Program Administrators •A commitment to go “deeper” (more comprehensive) in buildings; as well as “broader” (more customers) 7 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Three-Year Plan: Benefits at a Glance About 3x the annual savings over 2008 Electric • 2.4M Residential, Low Income, and Commercial participants over 3 years • Investment of $1.3B over 3 years • 30,000 GWh savings over the lifetime of the measures • Efficiency represents 2.4% of sales in 2012 Gas • 920,000 Residential, Low Income and Commercial participants over 3 years • Investment of $483M over 3 years • 897M therm savings over the lifetime of the measures • Efficiency represents 1.15% of sales in 2012 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

9 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

First Fuel • Making efficiency our “first fuel” puts the least cost, lowest impact option front and center to meet our energy needs. • The energy savings projected for 2010–2012 will put us on track to meet around 30% of our anticipated energy needs through energy efficiency by 2020. 10 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Challenges of Delivering Plan • Reach more electric and gas customers • Achieve more extensive savings  There is much to do beyond lighting and appliances • Create willingness to invest  Amid constrained economic times 11 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Role of RGGI • MA auctions about 100% of the carbon allowances • 80% of the funds are dedicated to EE through the efficiency plans operated by Program Administrators as specified in the GCA • 20% dedicated to EE and RE or other related purposes as specified in the GCA • 2009 Auctions: $50+million 12 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth

Multifamily Housing Program • ID’d as a hard to reach market in 3 year plan process • Participants will initiate a request for all program services through one party, without the need to directly contact multiple program administrators or multiple parties within the same program administrator. Throughout the project life cycle, the participant will have access to a single point-of contact that will facilitate all programmatic communication and coordination. • Eligibility for program measures and services will be based on cost- effectiveness and will not be restricted by the rate class associated with the meter(s) for the facility. • The program is structured to ensure that participants are provided with a whole-building, fully integrated offering targeting both gas and electric end-uses. • Key role: Multifamily Market Integrator 13 Creating A Greener Energy Future For the Commonwealth
