B/C Ratio 11.1 (per Evaluation)* Subsequent 3rd party analysis determined actual savings to be higher than reported in the Annual Report, which explains the higher B/C ratio found in the Evaluation.
Large Customer Program - Description
Opportunity– Very favorable B/C ratio– Market survey suggest large market potential, unmet demand– Successful results in other states– Reach some of the biggest energy consumers and largest employers in the
state to help them lower energy costs and improve competitiveness– Address market barrier – secure approval for capital projects in Maine
facilities by buying down upfront project cost to meet large companies’ capital budgeting process (e.g., payback, IRR)
Budget / Revenue– FY-12 $6.7M (RGGI, ARRA-federal, MPRP)– FY-13 $2.5M (RGGI, MPRP)– Electric projects straightforward for EM to bid into FCM, generate additional
revenues to EM– Enhanced Financing could unlock new opportunities by removing the
upfront cost barrier and enabling projects to be funded through operating budgets rather than limited capital budgets.
19
Large Customer Program - Description
Delivery / Strategy
– Competitive Bidding approach • Low administrative and marketing costs for EM• Technical project screening / analysis• Objective selection process
– Complements Business Incentive Program• Large Program >$100,000

Large Customer Program - Issues
Delivery / Strategy– What strategies exist to reward/capture collateral energy
saving opportunities (i.e., to address cream skimming and loss of future cost-effective opportunities)?
– Should marketing/selection rely exclusively on competitive bidding? • Pros – low delivery costs, objective selection process, high
leverage• Cons – timing in capital planning process, uncertainty for
bidders, recent experience of low uptake– If budgets increases, should strategy increase use of Account
Management approach and reflect this in budget/results?– Whether to focus 100% of RGGI funds on electric customers
(whence they come), or continue 85-15 split electric-GHG/thermal, or other.
Other:– ________20
