Additional Details
The EIA861 demand-side management (DSM) table (split into three normalized tables in PUDL) contain data through 2012. The form changed in 2013 and split the contents of the DSM table into energy efficiency and demand response tables. Though similar, the information collected before and after 2012 are not comparable enough to combine into a singular, continuous table. We were discouraged from doing so after contacting a representative from EIA.
Columns
EIA short code identifying a balancing authority. May include Canadian and Mexican BAs.
High level categorization of customer type (e.g., commercial, residential).
The cost of customer incentives resulting from new participants in existing energy efficiency programs and all participants in new energy efficiency programs. Customer incentives are the total financial value provided to a customer for program participation, whether, for example, cash payment, or lowered tariff rates relative to non-participants, in-kind services (e.g. design work), or other benefits directly provided to the customer for their program participation.
All anticipated costs of the customer incentives including reporting year incremental costs and all future costs. Customer incentives are the total financial value provided to a customer for program participation, whether, for example, cash payment, or lowered tariff rates relative to non-participants, in-kind services (e.g. design work), or other benefits directly provided to the customer for their program participation.
All anticipated costs other than customer incentives. Includes reporting year incremental costs and all future costs.
Energy savings in the given report year resulting from new participants in existing demand response programs and all participants in new demand response programs.
The estimated total changes in energy use for incremental programs and participants over the life of the programs. DSM programs have a useful life, and the net effects of these programs will diminish over time. Considers the useful life of energy efficiency technology by accounting for building demolition, equipment degradation, and program attrition.
The estimated total changes in peak load for incremental programs and participants over the life of the programs. DSM programs have a useful life, and the net effects of these programs will diminish over time. Considers the useful life of energy efficiency technology by accounting for building demolition, equipment degradation, and program attrition.
The peak reduction incurred in a given reporting year by new participants in existing energy efficiency programs and all participants in new energy efficiency programs.
Costs resulting from new participants in existing energy efficiency programs and all participants in new energy efficiency programs that aren't directly associated with customer incentives.
Date reported.
Whether the reported information comes from the short form. In the case of form EIA 861, a shorter version of the form was created in 2012 to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities and increase our processing efficiency.
Two letter US state abbreviation.
The EIA Utility Identification number.
The name of the utility.
The weighted average life of the respondent's portfolio of energy efficiency programs.
Maturity of the source data published by EIA that is reflected in this record. EIA releases data incrementally over time, including monthly updates, annual year-to-date updates, provisional early releases of annual data, and final annual release data that is not expected to change further. Records sourced from multiple upstream EIA datasets may have no well defined data maturity. Records whose values have been inferred within PUDL will also have no data maturity.
