How is uncertainty impacting decision making for participation in DSM programs? Will different customers react to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ perception of risk in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ same ways?

In this white paper, ICF's energy experts provide an exploration of an uncertainty analysis we conducted for a midwestern utility in order to illustrate Å·²©ÓéÀÖ impact of a full-shutdown scenario on DSM program participation.

What should DSM program managers bear in mind, based on a utility’s specific region and context? Download this paper for:

• Analysis of avoided energy cost, avoided capacity cost, discount rate, and participation.
• Impact of participation reductions on energy savings in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
• Recommended actions to analyze COVID-19’s full impact on DSM programs.
