SUMMARY:Rethinking Energy Savings: Exploring the Shift from Estimated to Data-Driven Approaches with Smart Meter Insights
DESCRIPTION:Rethinking Energy Savings: Exploring the Shift from Estimated to Data-Driven Approaches with Smart Meter Insights \nOpen to allFree for Members\, Cost for Non-MembersRegisterModerator: Lark Lee\, Tetra Tech \nSpeakers: \nAdam Grant\, NV EnergyChris Pollow\, Idaho PowerCarmen Best\, RecurveGarry Jones\, Oncor \nAs energy efficiency becomes integral to the grid reliability conversation and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) rolls out across the country\, policy makers\, regulators and administrators are assessing how to build trust in energy savings and demand reductions. Questions include: How reliable are current deemed savings? Can programs move from a deemed savings approach to a measured model? Are certain program types better suited to AMI measured or deemed savings? Moderated by a subject matter expert to foster lively discussion\, panelists with direct experience discuss their perspectives on the evolution of the use of AMI meter data and deemed savings. \nLearning Objectives: \n-Explain the differences between deemed savings and measured savings approaches in the context of AMI deployment and energy efficiency programs. \n-Evaluate the suitability of various energy efficiency program types for either deemed or measured savings models using real-world examples discussed by panelists. \n-Develop a policy recommendation framework that integrates AMI data to enhance trust and reliability in energy savings for utility programs.

SUMMARY:GoGreen Home Leverages Private Capital to Break Down Financial Barriers
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nMemberFREERegisterNon-Member$45Register*To register with Group Member Points\, email elearning@aesp.org \nAwards 0.1 CEUs / 1 PDHs (Click for more info)AESP is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). AESP complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard\, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation\, AESP is authorized to issue the IACET CEU. AESP instructors disclose in advance that they have no interest in any product\, service\, or material discussed during the course. This information is stated orally and in the training course handbook. \nThis webinar will focus on the utility ratepayer-funded GoGreen Home Energy Financing Program administered by an agency within the California State Treasurer’s Office. CAEATFA will provide an overview of the GoGreen Home program\, which leverages private capital by providing a loan loss reserve (LLR) that offsets 90% of eligible losses on qualified loans to lenders that offer favorable terms to overcome financial barriers. The program was launched in 2016 to facilitate contractor-led home improvement loans and later expanded to support microloans of up to $5000 that enable consumers to purchase efficient appliances at retail. \nSoCalGas is the lead utility for the GoGreen Home program and\, in 2021\, was the first to pilot GoGreen-backed Eco Financing microloans delivered through their online marketplace. The utility will talk about this industry-first and how financing fits into their overall strategy and portfolio. \nAs the SoCalGas Marketplace implementer and a GoGreen Home Channel Partner\, Enervee relies on its ecommerce platform as the digital hub to convene the wide range of partners needed to overcome financial barriers that consumers face. The program relies on ecommerce\, fintech lending\, utility\, and green bank business models to effectively overcome financial barriers. \nThe webinar will draw extensively on new\, soon-to-be published results from a statewide pilot program conducted in partnership with the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority\, as well as an independent evaluation of California’s statewide GoGreen Home program\, which covered Eco Financing micro-loans used to pay for ecommerce appliance purchases. \nUnsecured consumer lending is an important means of overcoming financial barriers that prevent consumers from buying energy efficient products on their own. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn to: \n\nSummarize the success of this innovative new credit enhancement approach to overcome financial barriers.\nProvide examples of business models & enabling partnerships.\nConsider implications for utility program design & regulation.\n\nRegisterPanelists\nKristi CortezMarketing Analyst from GoGreen Financing Kristi Cortez is a Marketing Analyst for the GoGreen Financing programs housed within the California State Treasurer’s Office.
