with this LIURP vendor for many years, so we are unsure why inspecting all heating jobs is necessary. savings results have been decreasing for all categories of LIURP PECO’s LIURP jobs since 2011. We are particularly concerned with the PECO Gas results, which have consistently been under 6.0% savings. That is the lowest of the NGDCs and is unsatisfactory. Additionally, over the last several years, PECO has sent incomplete and miscoded LIURP data to BCS and to the LIURP contractor, The Pennsylvania PUC’s State University (PSU), for analysis. The inconsistent data quality issues could be a contributing factor to the poor savings results. However, we do acknowledge that the 2013 LIURP program year data appears somewhat improved. It is imperative that PECO continue to work with BCS to resolve any future reporting issues and provide usable and complete data in order to produce valid analysis and savings results. Proposed Resolution: PECO is to address these issues. d. Additional Settlement Item Regarding Budget In the Joint Settlement, PECO states: Beginning October 2017, for a period of three years PECO will commit $1 million annually in additional funds to LIURP to reduce the energy burden of CAP customers whose bills exceed the energy Commission’s burden guidelines. These funds are in addition to the $700,000 designated in this settlement to address de facto heating, but at PECO’s discretion may be used for the de facto heating program if PECO determines that there is demand for additional de facto heating services and that such additional expenditures can be made within de facto heating program requirements.
