Energy Performance Program (EPP)

The Energy Performance Program (EPP) encourages whole building energy performance improvements through incentives at a four hundred per kilowatt-hour ($ 0.04 / kWh) of savings per year for up to 4 years. This pay-for-performance model encourages participants who are able to make behavioral and operational changes alongside capital investment projects to achieve and grow energy savings over multiple years.

Description

The Energy Performance Program (EPP) encourages whole building energy performance improvements through incentives at a four hundred per kilowatt-hour ($ 0.04 / kWh) of savings per year for up to 4 years. This pay-for-performance model encourages participants who are able to make behavioral and operational changes alongside capital investment projects to achieve and grow energy savings over multiple years.



  • The program provides multi-site customers with a single program point of contact; performance payments are determined by comparing metered consumption to consumption predicted by a building-specific baseline energy model; customers have choice and flexibility in implementing capital and non-capital energy efficiency measures, and are compensated for energy savings at the same rate regardless of which initiatives are pursued; measuring savings at the whole-building level reduces cost and administrative efforts.
