Weatherization Assistance Program • Install energy efficiency measures in low-income homes across Colorado • S erve about 2,000 homes per year • Reducing energy burden: Annual Energy Expenditure Energy Burden Annual Income Reduction in Annual Energy Reduction in Energy Burden Expenditure • Main Goal: Maximize energy cost savings for each client we serve

Baseline Savings Amounts MMBtu Therm kWh Cost Savings Savings Savings Savings Expected Gas/Propane Savings 12.5 125 $125 2.1 620 $75 Expected Electricity Savings Total Annual Savings per Home 14.6 125 620 $200

Natural Gas is Prevalent and Cheap in CO $40 $35 • 54% of CO residential energy 2016 CO Residential $/MMBtu consumption goes to heating $30 • Almost 80% of homes in CO $25 heat with natural gas $20 • Natural gas by far the $15 cheapest of the three main $10 residential fuel types in CO $5 $0 Natural Gas Propane Electricity Source: EIA RECS 2009 Source: EIA

Problems and Solutions Problem Area Proposed Solution Relatively low gas prices and Install more measures by high gas usage targeting older homes Target propane and electrically Relatively low gas prices heated homes Offset electricity use with Relatively high electric prices rooftop PV

Electricity Offset: Rooftop Solar PV Systems • At a typical electricity rate of $0.11/ kWh, annual savings range: 3.5kW system $540 annual savings 1.8kW system $280 annual savings $400 typical annual savings

Baseline EE, Enhanced EE, and Rooftop PV $800 $700 $600 Energy Cost Savings $500 $400 $300 $200 $100 $0 Baseline EE Enhanced EE Targeted EE & Rooftop PV EE +EE +EE & PV

Xcel Energy Rooftop PV Partnership • $2.00/ W up front incentive • $0.034/ kWh performance incentive • 75 homes in 2017 • 100 homes in 2018 • 125 homes in 2019
