Impacts and Benefits for California IOU Ratepayers 20 Explains how the proposed project will benefit California Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) ratepayers with respect to the EPIC goals of greater reliability, lower costs, and/or increased safety). Provides plausible, and justifiable quantitative estimates of potential benefits for California IOU electricity ratepayers, including the following (as annual electricity and thermal savings (kilowatt-hour and applicable): therms), peak load reduction and/or shifting, energy cost reductions, greenhouse gas emission reductions, air emission reductions (e.g., NOx), and water use and/or cost reductions. States the timeframe, assumptions, and calculations for the estimated benefits, and explains their reasonableness. Identifies impacted market segments in California, including size and penetration or deployment with underlying assumptions. Discusses any qualitative or intangible benefits to California IOU electricity ratepayers, including timeframe and assumptions. Provides a cost-benefit analysis that compares project costs to anticipated benefits. Explains how costs and benefits will be calculated and quantified, and identifies any underlying assumptions. For Project Group 2 only: Describes any co-benefit metrics recommended by CBO or community partners. Team Qualifications, Capabilities, and Resources 10 Describes the organizational structure of the applicant and the project team. Includes an organizational chart that illustrates the structure. Identifies key team members, including the project manager and principal investigator (include this information in Attachment 5, Project Team Form). Summarizes the qualifications, experience, capabilities, and credentials of the key team members (include this information in Attachment 5, Project Team Form). Explains how the various tasks will be managed and coordinated, and how the project manager’s technical expertise will support the effective management and coordination of all projects in the application. Describes the facilities, infrastructure, and resources available to the team. Describes the team’s history of successfully completing projects (e.g., RD&D projects) and commercializing and/or deploying results/products. Identifies past projects that resulted in a market-ready technology (include this information in Attachment 9, Reference and Work Product Form).
