    2018 Portfolio Highlights

     

    Portfolio Highlights 2018

    • Idaho

      The next generation of cost-effective, energy efficient innovation depends on collaboration. When Northwest states work together, our energy organizations excel and clear a path to a more sustainable energy future that spurs job creation and drives the economy.
      - Brad Little, Governor of Idaho


      2018 Success Stories

       
      • Rwlights

        Reduced Wattage Lamp Replacement

        Transforming Markets - The alliance’s Reduced Wattage Lamp Replacement program ended in 2018, but the program’s assets – including a suite of valuable distributor relationships, data collection mechanisms, supply chain contracts and best practices – will continue to support a wide variety of products and local utility programs.

      • Vhe Doas Rooftop

        High Performance HVAC

        Filling the Region’s Energy Efficiency Pipeline - In 2018, the alliance worked with the market to introduce an innovative HVAC systems approach that promises to dramatically reduce whole-building electric energy use across the Northwest.

      • Apartment Apartment Building Architecture 323705

        Commercial Code Enhancement

        Influencing Progressively More Effective Energy Codes – The alliance is applying market transformation principles to the code change process, creating better alignment between the market, utility programs and code.

      • Lighting Dashboard

        Commercial Lighting

        Turning Data into Actionable Insights – In 2018 the alliance created a user-friendly lighting data dashboard — presenting granular, timely pricing and sales data— to support utility program planning.

      • Ar Rheem Hpwh T3 Garage S

        Gas Heat Pump Water Heaters

        Accelerating Natural Gas Efficiency - 2018 brought big strides in the alliance’s efforts to support the market in developing, adopting and calibrating the first natural gas heat pump water heater.

      • NEEA’s 2025-2029 Strategic and Business Plans build on the alliance’s more than 25-year history of Market Transformation success. These plans outline how the alliance will deliver on its draft mission: to catalyze the most efficient use of energy for a thriving Northwest.


        NEEA’s active engagement and leadership have been instrumental in building the collaboration and coordination required to prepare the North American market, including the Northwest, for gas heat pump water heaters.

        Impacts and Investments

        • 2018 Co Created Savings 10

          Energy Savings

          NEEA estimates that working together the region delivered 46 average megawatts (aMW) of co-created energy savings in 2018. Almost two thirds of those savings are the result of investments made during previous business cycles that are returning energy savings today.

          Co-created energy savings = all energy savings above baseline that occur in the market due to the combined efforts of utilities, the alliance and other actors.

          1 aMW = enough energy to power about 730 Northwest homes per year

          2018 Regional Peak Demand Savings:

          Current Portfolio = 90 MW (winter)
          Target = N/A



          2018 Avoided CO2 Emissions:

          Current Portfolio = 212,168 tons/yr
          Target = N/A

          Cumulative Co-Created Savings (aMW): 1997–2018

          Working together, the region has delivered about 775 average megawatts (aMW) of co-created energy savings since 1997 – enough energy to power more than 500,000 Northwest homes each year.
