detailed above) into an average per-unit deemed savings value. The UEC itself is not equal to the deemed savings value, because the UEC model yields an estimate of annual consumption and not all recycled refrigerators would have operated year-round. In PY3, the Commission determined that the average removed refrigerator was plugged in and used 96.9% of the year. Thus, the deemed value the Commission proposes for the part-use factor is 96.9% based on PY3 data for all EDCs. The Commission proposes that the EDCs be allowed the option of calculating their own territory-specific part-use factor. In the event an EDC desires to calculate an part-use factor, the Commission proposes that, using participant surveys, EDC evaluators should determine the amount of time a removed refrigerator was plugged in. ii. Refrigerators Removed and Replaced If a refrigerator is removed and replaced with a new ENERGY STAR unit, the proposed annual savings are 533 kWh. If a refrigerator is removed and replaced with a new non-ENERGY STAR unit, the proposed annual savings are 417 kWh. The following methodology is used to calculate an energy savings value of 533 kWh for refrigerators that are removed and replaced with new ENERGY STAR refrigerators and an energy savings value of 417 kWh for refrigerators that are removed and replaced with new non-ENERGY STAR refrigerators: NET_kWhsaved Per Unit = DEEMED kWhsaved Per Unit – (REPLACEMENTUEC * PART_USE) Where: REPLACEMENTUEC = The annual unit energy consumption of the average replacement unit. This comes from the ENERGY STAR calculator and is equal to 416.600 kWh for a
