SENT 1999 CD Peak NP Opportunities NNS Conservation NP , , Renewables NP Can MD Fill NP Niche NN in IN Moderating VVG High NP Electric NP System NP Loads NNS , , Consultant NN Says VVZ The DT exorbitant JJ costs NNS of IN meeting NN peak NN electric JJ demand NN offer NN substantial JJ opportunities NNS for IN energy NN conservation NN and CC renewable JJ energy NN strategies NNS that IN moderate JJ high JJ loads NNS , , such JJ as IN more JJR efficient JJ heating NN of IN buildings NNS . SENT So RB believes VVZ energy NN consultant NN Tom NP Foley NP , , speaking VVG to TO the DT Northwest NP Energy NP Coalition's NP Clean NP Affordable JJ Energy NP Conference NP Oct NP . SENT 1 CD in IN Seattle NP . SENT This DT industry NN is VBZ in IN a DT state NN of IN flux NN and CC we PP have VHP to TO continually RB examine VV the DT role NN of IN conservation NN and CC renewables NNS in IN it PP , , and CC determine VV where WRB we PP can MD do VV the DT best JJS for IN the DT electric JJ system NN and CC how WRB we PP pay VVP for IN them PP , , both CC directly RB and CC indirectly RB , , said VVD Foley NP , , a DT longtime JJ regional JJ energy NN figure NN and CC former JJ manager NN of IN conservation NN and CC resource NN assessment NN at IN the DT Northwest NP Power NP Planning NP Council NP . SENT Higher JJR wholesale JJ power NN market NN prices NNS are VBP a DT major JJ factor NN for IN conservation NN today NN , , Foley NP noted VVD , , making VVG efficiency NN generally RB more JJR cost NN effective JJ than IN in IN the DT mid JJ 1990 CD s PP . SENT Also RB at IN play NN is VBZ the DT growing VVG disparity NN between IN peak NN and CC off IN peak NN prices NNS , , ranging VVG from IN a DT typical JJ gap NN of IN . SENT 5 CD cents NNS per IN kilowatt NN hour NN to TO occasionally RB as RB high JJ as IN 5 CD cents NNS KWh NN . SENT In IN other JJ areas NNS of IN the DT country NN , , the DT differences NNS have VHP been VBN far RB more JJR dramatic JJ and CC could MD be VB a DT harbinger NN of IN things NNS to TO come VV in IN this DT region NN . SENT This DT offers VVZ opportunities NNS to TO focus VV conservation NN at IN high JJ load NN hours NNS and CC or CC shift VV peak NN loads NNS to TO low JJ load NN hours NNS , , to TO take VV advantage NN of IN dollar NN values NNS . SENT Under IN these DT circumstances NNS , , Levelized NP prices NNS aren't VVD as RB important JJ as IN they PP used VVD to TO be VB , , Foley NP said VVD . SENT Energy NN efficiencies NNS gained VVD at IN 2 CD cents NNS KWh NP but CC only RB available JJ at IN off JJ peak NN times NNS may MD not RB be VB cost VVN effective JJ , , while IN efficiencies NNS costing VVG 4 CD cents NNS KWh NN , , for IN example NN , , and CC saving VVG peak NN time NN energy NN may MD be VB very RB cost VVN effective JJ . SENT For IN a DT typical JJ utility NN , , Foley NP said VVD , , transmission NN and CC distribution NN systems NNS are VBP built VVN to TO serve VV loads NNS that WDT seldom RB occur VVP . SENT Fully RB 25 CD percent NN of IN the DT T NN D NP system NN is VBZ in IN place NN to TO serve VV loads NNS that WDT only RB occur VVP perhaps RB 4 CD 5 CD percent NN of IN the DT 8 CD , , 760 CD hours NNS in IN a DT year NN . SENT For IN those DT peak NN periods NNS , , transmission NN costs NNS alone RB are VBP about RB 8 CD cents NNS KWh NN , , assuming VVG a DT cost NN for IN transmission NN capacity NN of IN 24 CD per IN kilowatt NN per IN year NN . SENT Add VV distribution NN expenses NNS of IN roughly RB 16 CD cents NNS KWh NN and CC energy NN costs NNS of IN up RB to TO 10 CD cents NNS KWh NN , , and CC total JJ costs NNS can MD soar VV to TO 34 CD cents NNS KWh NN to TO serve VV those DT loads NNS . SENT There EX are VBP ways NNS to TO serve VV those DT loads NNS cheaper JJR than IN paying VVG 34 CD cents NNS per IN kilowatt NN hour NN , , he PP said VVD . SENT Locally RB sited VVN generation NN , , targeted VVN conservation NN and CC load NN management NN are VBP three CD examples NNS . SENT In IN another DT example NN , , Foley NP projected VVD a DT comprehensive JJ program NN to TO install VV compact JJ fluorescent JJ lamps NNS would MD cost VV about IN 18 CD year NN for IN each DT kilowatt NN of IN peak NN load NN conserved VVD . SENT That DT compares VVZ to TO 43 CD for IN a DT simple JJ cycle NN combustion NN turbine NN , , which WDT if IN not RB sited VVN within IN the DT distribution NN system NN , , would MD require VV transmission NN at IN 24 CD and CC distribution NN costs NNS on IN top NN of IN the DT 43 CD . SENT The DT compact JJ fluorescents NNS could MD be VB easily RB financed VVN by IN the DT foregone JJ transmission NN costs NNS . SENT It PP seems VVZ to TO be VB a DT no RB brainer JJR , , he PP said VVD . SENT Foley NP also RB cited VVD looming VVG transmission NN constraints NNS and CC the DT extremely RB high JJ costs NNS charged VVN in IN the DT restructuring NN world NN for IN peak JJ generating NN capacity NN . SENT Load NN Management NN What WP I PP think VVP we PP need VVP to TO do VV is VBZ take VV this DT targeted JJ conservation NN approach NN and CC combine VV it PP with IN load NN management NN , , shifting VVG loads NNS , , shedding VVG loads NNS when WRB prices NNS peak NN , , said VVD Foley NP . SENT This DT could MD include VV demand NN side NN bidding NN , , as IN is VBZ proposed VVN for IN California's NP Independent NP System NP Operator NP , , as RB well RB as IN shared VVN peak NN savings NNS programs NNS between IN utilities NNS and CC their PP$ customers NNS , , as IN B NP . SENT C SYM . SENT Hydro NP is VBZ doing VVG in IN a DT pilot NN program NN . SENT Distributed VVN generation NN also RB could MD play VV a DT role NN in IN reducing VVG peaks NNS as RB well RB as IN enhancing VVG system NN reliability NN , , since IN most JJS outages NNS are VBP caused VVN by IN failures NNS in IN wires NNS , , not RB generating VVG facilities NNS , , he PP said VVD . SENT Building NN operations NNS can MD be VB changed VVN to TO make VV a DT difference NN , , Foley NP believes VVZ , , particularly RB in IN large JJ commercial JJ settings NNS . SENT If IN you PP heat VV some DT of IN these DT buildings NNS early RB , , instead RB of IN waiting VVG until IN just RB before IN they're NN occupied VVN , , the DT thermal JJ mass NN of IN the DT building NN can MD carry VV that DT building NN before IN the DT peak NN , , and CC the DT energy NN penalty NN in IN the DT morning NN is VBZ more JJR than IN made VVN up RP later RBR in IN the DT day NN . SENT They PP spike VV these DT buildings NNS up RP and CC when WRB people NNS come VVP in IN they PP have VHP to TO start VV cooling VVG , , even RB in IN very RB cold JJ weather NN . SENT Can MD we PP shift VV loads NNS away RB from IN the DT peak NN by IN using VVG cheap JJ , , clean JJ energy NN at IN night NN , , typically RB marginally RB low JJ polluting VVG . SENT . SENT . SENT and CC stay VV away RP from IN high JJ peak NN prices NNS . SENT Every DT dog NN and CC cat NN generator NN is VBZ running VVG on IN peak NN , , which WDT are VBP typically RB all RB of IN the DT dirty JJ ones NNS , , he PP said VVD . SENT Dollars NNS saved VVN through IN peak JJ shaving NN efforts NNS could MD be VB directed VVN to TO fund VV additional JJ conservation NN and CC renewables NNS , , he PP suggested VVD . SENT We PP can MD work VV with IN utilities NNS to TO do VV that IN , , Foley NP said VVD . SENT In IN many JJ cases NNS it's NNS in IN their PP$ best JJS interests NNS also RB . SENT Seattle NP city NN councilwoman NN Margeret NP Pageler NP , , joining VVG the DT question NN and CC answer NN session NN after IN Foley's NP talk NN , , noted VVD Seattle NP City NP Light NP is VBZ starting VVG to TO see VV summer NN peak NN loads NNS with IN the DT big JJ growth NN in IN plug NN loads NNS and CC electronic JJ equipment NN . SENT The DT utility NN historically RB has VHZ peaked VVN in IN winter NN . SENT We're NNS looking VVG much RB more RBR closely RB at IN how WRB we PP can MD partner NN with IN building VVG owners NNS of IN big JJ commercial JJ buildings NNS downtown JJ to TO develop VV some DT load NN and CC peak NN management NN systems NNS , , she PP said VVD , , adding VVG that IN City NP Light's NP proposed VVD 10 CD percent NN annual JJ increase NN in IN rates NNS for IN medium NN and CC large JJ downtown JJ network NN customers NNS would MD provide VV some DT cost NN incentives NNS for IN business NN owners NNS to TO work VV with IN us PP on IN that DT . SENT Asked VVN about IN the DT delivery NN of IN energy NN conservation NN services NNS for IN this DT peak JJ savings NN approach NN , , Foley NP offered VVD , , If IN we PP really RB had VHD retail JJ competition NN , , there EX would MD be VB a DT lot NN of IN stuff NN that WDT would MD come VV out RP of IN the DT woodwork NN . SENT Storage NN devices NNS for IN heat NN would MD be VB on IN the DT market NN for IN residences NNS because IN of IN the DT vast JJ differences NNS in IN price NN from IN hour NN to TO hour NN . SENT Even RB in IN that DT scenario NN there's RB a DT lot NN of IN learning NN that WDT needs VVZ to TO be VB done VVN . SENT . SENT . SENT Until IN we PP get VVP there RB , , it's NNS basically RB still RB the DT utilities NNS , , I PP think VVP . SENT He PP did VVD foresee VV and CC advocate VV a DT role NN for IN efficiency NN businesses NNS . SENT If IN I PP were VBD a DT building NN owner NN in IN Seattle NP and CC a DT big JJ user NN of IN electricity NN , , I'd NP first RB hire VV a DT good JJ engineer NN who WP knew VVD my PP$ business NN and CC knew VVD energy NN . SENT . SENT . SENT I'd JJ go VVP pound NN on IN my PP$ utility's JJ door NN and CC say VV , , Look VV , , I PP want VVP to TO capture VV some DT of IN this DT value NN , , and CC work VV with IN them PP . SENT NWEC NP chair NN Deborah NP Smith NP asked VVD Foley NP how WRB investor NN owned VVD utilities NNS without IN their PP$ own JJ generation NN sources NNS could MD be VB persuaded VVN to TO invest VV in IN conservation NN and CC renewables NNS . SENT Foley NP noted VVD that IN distribution NN utilities NNS still RB pay VVP for IN transmission NN . SENT If IN they PP cut VVD loads NNS and CC save VV on IN the DT need NN for IN transmission NN and CC distribution NN , , they PP need VVP to TO be VB assured VVN it PP won't VVD affect VV their PP$ rate NN of IN return NN , , he PP acknowledged VVD .
