Leveraging the Value of Energy Efficiency

NOVEMBER 21^ST | 11 AM EST

This FastCast focuses on the ways that customers in the PJM Interconnection cannot only save energy costs through energy projects, but also earn revenue through enrollment of energy efficiency projects in PJM's capacity market. We will discuss how to enroll qualifying energy efficiency projects into the forward capacity market and identify which types of projects qualify for such enrollment, plus highlight how the "whole building analysis" can find additional values for energy efficiency projects. Join us for this presentation on ways to leverage an energy efficiency strategy while maximizing value.

Learning Objectives

1. Define an energy efficiency project
2. Discuss the importance of measurement and verification
3. Highlight ways to leverage a DR + EE strategy to maximize value
4. Explain how to enroll qualifying energy efficiency projects and identify which projects qualify for capacity enrollment

What California's Energy Evolution Means for Commercial demand-side energy management

DECEMBER 14^TH | 11 AM EST
