WSU HISTORYThrough funding by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance
(NEEA), WSU’s EnergyIdeas Clearinghouse provided research
on and developed the first fact sheet on LED lighting for the
holidays. (WSU also provided a version for Western and their
customers.)
Persistence in the NW and throughout the US:
•Power factor correction devices•Polarized Refrigerant Oil Additives•Insulated Paint•High‐efficient electric space heaters
Utilities pushed the idea for the Product & Technology Review
process…resulting in several fact sheets.
WSU HISTORY
Northwest Power and Conservation Council seeks out WSU to assist
with developing
a list of potential energy saving emerging technologies for the Regional 6th
Power
Plan.
WSU Performs:•Evaluates Regional Technical Forum (RTF) ET List•Researches for additional ETs•Collaborates with Stakeholders•Reviews and Selects
WSU HISTORY
In 2008, BPA reaches out to WSU to assist with the development of a new program
in the Northwest, aimed at creating a “pipeline”
of technologies that can funnel into
utility programs.
To date, we have helped:
•Establish Program Charter•Design the Framework•Incorporate Continuous Process Improvements•Secondary Research•Implement Framework•Develop Internal/External Management Tools
E3T Program CharterMission:
Lead the Northwest’s identification, assessment and dissemination of
innovative, highly‐valued energy‐efficient emerging end‐use technologies to
increase regional energy efficiency programs’
scope, impact and stakeholder
satisfaction.
Goals:•Create and sustain a community of Northwest experts to guide
identification, assessment, and dissemination of innovative energy‐efficient
end‐use technologies.•Select and manage assessment projects that bridge targeted emerging
technologies into regional energy efficiency programs (“fill the pipeline”). •Link and integrate our efforts with all Northwest regional stakeholders by
providing a consistent stream of credible energy savings opportunities that
utilities, end‐users and other stakeholders value. •Maintain strong ties to Northwestern, national and global experts and allied
organizations to cost‐effectively synergize our efforts through collaboration,
information sharing and the development of more uniform processes.
Emerging Technologies
An innovative technology or solution, not in common use, that promises a quantifiable
increase in efficiency of electric energy end‐ use consumption or distribution within the customer’s facility as seen by customers in the
Region.
E3T Program: ET Submission Criteria
• New and/or not assessed or included in BPA Programs • Electric end‐uses only• Equipment and Solutions (e.g. software tools, energy
management approaches‐including strategies)• Retrofit and new construction• Focus is on energy efficiency, but can include on‐site
renewables or demand‐side response/management• All sectors (but emphasis on widely applicable
technologies)

Summary
• The E3T Program– Designed to evaluate promising new ETs– Process elevates ETs to the demonstration stage– Successful demonstrations pass on to EE Programs
for deployment• Credibility established
– Early
market penetration of ETs will slow– E3T process validates potential/successful
deployment• Goal
– Flow of technologies, integrated with successes, will increase the deployment of approved ETs.
