Staff and Board approval 2. Public acceptance 3. System limitations 4. Financial implications The purpose of the initial screening process was to help CWS and ELCO decision makers immediately eliminate measures that would not work for ELCO. Both supply- side and demand-side measures and programs were screened. The measures and programs were grouped into four major categories: Utility Maintenance, Regulatory Controls, Educational Programs, and Rebates and Incentives. The groupings helped to define the nature of each measure/program and which District staff will be responsible for implementation. A final list of 33 measures/programs was evaluated. Table 2 shows the selected measures/programs with the existing measures and programs highlighted in green. 8010 S.
