16 Tex. Admin. Code § 25.183 - Reporting and Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Programs
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is
to establish reporting requirements sufficient for the commission, in
cooperation with Energy Systems Laboratory of Texas A&M University
(Laboratory), to quantify, by county, the reductions in energy consumption,
peak demand and associated emissions of air contaminants achieved from the
programs implemented under §
25.181 of this title (relating to
the Energy Efficiency Goal).
(b)
Application. This section applies to electric utilities administering energy
efficiency programs implemented under the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA)
§39.905 and pursuant to §
25.181 of this title, and
independent system operators (ISO) and regional transmission organizations
(RTO).
(c) Definitions. The
definitions provided in §
25.181(c) of
this title shall also apply to this section, unless the context indicates
otherwise.
(d) Reporting. Each
electric utility shall file by April 1, of each program year an annual energy
efficiency plan and report. The annual energy efficiency plan and report shall
include the information required under §
25.181(l) of
this title and paragraphs (1) - (5) of this subsection in a format prescribed
by the commission.
(1) Load data within the
applicable service area. If such information is available from an ISO or RTO in
the power region in which the electric utility operates, then the ISO or RTO
shall provide this information to the commission instead of the electric
utility.
(2) The reduction in peak
demand attributable to energy efficiency programs implemented under §
25.181 of this title, in kW by
county, by type of program and by funding source.
(3) The reduction in energy consumption
attributable to energy efficiency programs implemented under §
25.181 of this title, in kWh by
county, by type of program and by funding source.
(4) Any data to be provided under this
section that is proprietary in nature shall be filed in accordance with §
22.71(d) of this
title (relating to Filing of Pleadings, Documents and Other
Materials).
(5) Any other
information determined by the commission to be necessary to quantify the air
contaminant emission reductions.
(e) Evaluation. Annually the commission, in
cooperation with the Laboratory, shall provide the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) a report, by county, that compiles the data
provided by the utilities affected by this section and quantifies the
reductions of energy consumption, peak demand and associated air contaminant
emissions.
(1) The Laboratory shall ensure
that all data that is proprietary in nature is protected from
disclosure.
(2) The commission and
the Laboratory shall ensure that the report does not provide information that
would allow market participants to gain a competitive advantage.
