Many programs were launched on or about December 1, 2009. Duquesne Light'sEE&C program accomplishments have been increasing while the ramp-up activities of those programshave been subsiding.Business process teams have continued to review their processes and make mid course changes whileworking within the context of the PA PUC approved Plan.Meetings are held at a minimum monthly with the contracted CSPs for the Large Office and PrimaryMetals segments, the Small Office and Retail segments and the Mixed Industrial and Chemical segments.Events have been attended to continue the recognition of Watt Choices.For savings impact evaluation purposes, on October 9, 2011 an evaluation dataset was downloadeddirectly from PMRS that contained records of all customer actions taken to implement energy efficiencymeasures termed "projects" completed by Duquesne Light's EE&C Programs during Quarter 1 of PY 3.The program activity for PY3 Q l is summarized in Table 1-1.18192021PYTD demand reductions have not been verified as of PY3 Ql.PYTD unverified demand reductions are PY3 Q l reported gross values.PYTD committed demand reductions include PY3 Q l projects in progress {1.03 MW).Upstream CFL program participants are reported separately and not included in these program participantnumbers.DLC Page3

October 17, 20111 Quarterly Report to the PA PUC, PY3 Ql1.4Summary of EvaluationRealization rates are calculated to adjust reported savings based on statistically significant verifiedsavings measured by independent evaluators. The realization rate is defined as the percentage ofreported savings that is achieved, as determined through the independent evaluation review. Arealization rate of 1 or 100% indicates no difference between the reported and achieved savings.Realization rates are determined by certain attributes relative to one of three protocol types. Fullydeemed TRM measure realization rates are driven by differences in the number of installed measures.Partially deemed TRM measure realization rates are driven by (1) differences in the number ofinstalled measures and (2) differences in the variables. Custom measure realization rates are driven bydifferences in the energy savings as estimated at time of installation and savings as determined by themeasurement and verification process.24Quarterly reports may not include realization rates reflecting full program-to-date activities due toongoing M&V activity. The realization rates for the full program year will be reported in the ProgramYear 3 final report.1.4.1 Impact Evaluation1.4.1.1 Evaluation Groups25Per the utility's EM&V Plan , for the purpose of conducting cost-effective EM&V, certain industrial andcommercial programs are grouped based on shared characteristics. Commercial sector retail, healthcare, large and small office and public agency partnership programs are similar enough in structure to betreated as one evaluation group . All industrial programs function in a similar enough manner that theyare treated as one evaluation group. Because of their unique program features, each residentialprogram is evaluated independently. This program level EM&V organization results in seven distinctEvaluation Groups , as shown in Table 1-10 below. Note that program theory and logic models havebeen developed for all of the program groups except for the Upstream Lighting Program.2627282A25262728TRM measures with stipulated values and variables.Evaluation Measurement and Verification Plan, 2010-2012 Energy Efficiency & Conservation Programs, July 15,2010 {EM&V Plan), sections 1.2.6 Program Level EM&V Organization, page 12.Note that in cases where the programs must be consolidated for practical M&V purposes, the sample data canbe used to provide an unbiased estimate of the average savings per project for the program group. Whileaverage savings per project can be broken out for each program in the group, the precision will be lower due tothe smaller sample sizes.EM&V Plan Table 1-7: Evaluation Groups, page 13.A common model has been developed for the commercial and industrial program groups.DLC Page 14

With the Verification approachfor deemed measures, there are two sub-levels of rigor, basic and enhanced. The level of rigor dependson the size of the savings. The basic level of rigor will be used for measures for which the rebate is lessthan 2,000. The enhanced level of rigor is reserved for measures for which the rebate is equal to orgreater than 2,000. Basic level of rigor involves verification by telephone survey, and enhanced level ofrigor involves on-site verification.The basic level of verification rigor methods for TRM deemed measures involves two basic steps:1. Survey a random sample of participants to verify installations and estimate verification rates.2. The claimed ex ante gross kWh and kW impacts for each PMRS record in the population fromwhich the sample was drawn are then multiplied by this verification rate.The verification used for TRM deemed measures consists of a six-step process:Step 1. The verification checklist for deemed savings measures includes data downloaded from PMRSand/or taken from hardcopy documentation for each participant installation or can be obtained bytelephone or on-site visit. The verification checklist for deemed savings measures includes:1. Participant has valid utility account number2.Measure(s) is on approved list and all parameters necessary for calculating savings are present.DLC Page 15

October 17, 2011 Quarterly Report to the PA PUC, PY3 Ql3.Proof of purchase identifies qualifying measure and is dated within the period being verified.4.Rebate payment date is in the current program period being verified.5.Unit kWh and kW are correct for each listed measure.6.Measure was actually installed at the customer site (telephone survey for basic level of rigor).Step 2. A simple random sample of participants is selected from the PMRS database.Step 3. Relevant documentation for items #1 through #5 from PMRS or other hardcopy documentationis then obtained for each sampled PMRS record.Step 4. Next, with respect to the sixth criterion: (a) for basic verification, telephone interviews areconducted with each sampled customer to confirm that they participated in the program, received therebate, and purchased and installed the efficient measure(s); and (b) for the enhanced rigor sample, onsite inspections and interviews are completed with each sampled customer to confirm that theyparticipated in the program, received the rebate, and purchased and installed the efficient measure(s).Step 5. Using the data collected from program files and surveys, a verification rate (VR) is calculated. TheVR is a function of three separate parameters:1. sample-based program-qualifier rate (PQ),2.a clerical adjustment rate (CAR), and3.an installation rate (IR).The PQ is a function of whether the first four criteria were all met. If a sampled participant record didnot meet all four criteria, the PQ would be set to zero. If a sampled participant record met all fourcriteria, the PQ would be set to one.Per the fifth criterion, for each sampled case, the unit kWh and kW for each PMRS measure arereviewed to make sure that they are consistent with agreed-upon deemed values. A CAR, which issimply the ratio of verified deemed values to PMRS deemed values, is then calculated. Note in theoriginal EM&V plan, the CAR was referred to as the realization rate (RR). MCR Performance Solutionschoose to use CAR rather than RR since the level of EM&V rigor associated with the CAR is far less thanthat typically associated with a realization rate.Per the sixth criterion, telephone interviews are conducted to verify that the measure was in factinstalled. The results of the telephone interviews are used to calculate the installation rate (IR), which isthe ratio of the telephone-verified installations to the PMRS installations.For each sampled record, the verification rate (VR) is then calculated as: PQ x CAR x IR. The VR is theratio of ex post verified savings to the ex ante savings. Expectations regarding this ratio form the basis ofthe sample design.Finally, across all sampled records, two weighted average VRs are calculated. One average VR isweighted by total gross ex ante kWh impacts for each record. The second VR is weighted by the totalgross ex ante kW impacts for each record. For a given sampled PMRS record, the total ex ante gross kWhand kW impacts are simply the unit energy savings (UES) multiplied by the units installed.DLC Page 16

October 17, 2011 Quarterly Report to the PA PUC, PY3 QlStep 6. The final step involves multiplying the total gross ex ante kWh and kW impacts for each record inthe PMRS population from which the sample was drawn by the kWh-weighted average VR and the kWweighted average VR, respectively.1.4.1.2Sample Design: LIEEP, REEP, RARP and SEPAll residential programs use the simple ratio estimator. The reasons for moving to a simple ratioestimator were that the vast majority of the measures installed in these four residential programs areexpected to be TRM deemed. This means that the savings are subjected to the basic level of rigor thatinvolved only the verification of installations. The only changes to the estimated gross savings in PMRSwould
