<br />c <br />C' <br />t... <br />.-' <br /> <br />for a 40 gWh/yr (gigaWatt hours/year) reduction in new residential <br /> <br />,- <br />~ <br /> <br />customer demand by the year 1989, the end of the planning period <br /> <br />we studied. <br /> <br />The table below presents a ~ummary of our findings. The far <br /> <br /> <br />left column (Program Component) identifies the sectors we examined-- <br /> <br />essentially, residential and commercial buildings--and the distinc- <br /> <br />tion we made between new and existing structures. The column also <br /> <br />contains one line with the label "Indirect Savings,"!.~., a reduction <br /> <br />in transmission and distribution (T & D) losses directly attribut- <br /> <br />able to the energy conservation brought about by measures taken in <br /> <br />the residential and commercial sectors. <br /> <br />The three righthand columns in the table identified as "Low", <br /> <br />"Base", and "High" represent the likely range of energy conservation <br /> <br />f; <br />, <br /> <br />which depends primarily on participation rates in the residential <br /> <br />and commercial sectors. We believe that the middle column, !.~~, <br /> <br />the Base Conservation Scenario, is the most probable. Were measures <br /> <br />taken to realize the demand reduction it represents, the CUEA <br /> <br />system would experience savings of over 1000 gWh/yr in 1989. <br /> <br />:,: <br /> <br />Perhaps more worthy of note are the savings of almost 700 gWh/yr <br /> <br />in the Low column. This is a demand reduction of nearly twice the <br /> <br />average annual production (350 gWh/yr) of the Juniper-Cross Project. <br /> <br />.~~ <br /> <br />. <br />Clearly the demand projection measures which we have identified <br /> <br />offer a reasonable alternative to the new capacity which the hydro- <br /> <br />"'~' <br /> <br />electric project represents. Even at very low participation rates <br /> <br />(the Low Conservation Scenario) the need for the new capacity of <br /> <br />the project is more than offset. <br /> <br />vi <br />
