Evaluation Activities Related to Statewide Energy Efficiency Utility Contract Cycle 2000 - 2002

This document contains the summary of the Vermont Department of Public Service's evaluation activities with regard to Efficiency Vermont, the Energy Efficiecny Utility (EEU). It also contains executive summaries from the three primary reports, and a list of project documents. These documents are available on request from the Department, and in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) via the following links.

Summary - August 14, 2003
The September 30, 1999 Board order creating an Energy Efficiency Utility (“EEU”) in Docket 5980 established that the Department of Public Service (“Department” or “DPS”) has a specific role as the entity charged with providing formal evaluation of the efficiency utility programs and that these evaluation activities would be funded by energy efficiency charge (“EEC”) funds collected by the Fiscal Agent. The Board approved Memorandum of Understanding further specified that the evaluation would include, but not be limited to, an assessment of market transformation accomplishments.

In its May 29, 2002 “Report and Recommendations to the Vermont Public Service Board Relating to Vermont’s Energy Efficiency Utility”, the Department provided a summary of DPS formal evaluation activities together with draft summary reports and preliminary findings.

This document is a report on the results of that evaluation work and concludes the Department’s’ EEU evaluation activities for the years 2000 through 2002, the first three years of EEU operation.
