The Rebirth of Utility DSM Programs in Nevada

ABSTRACT
The two main electric utilities in Nevada, Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific
Power Company, reinstituted a set of energy efficiency and load management programs for
residential and smaller commercial and industrial customers in the spring of 2003. The programs,
which are funded initially at $11.2 million per year, grew out of a demand-side management
(DSM) collaborative involving the utilities, state Public Utility Commission staff, the state’s
consumer advocate, industry, and public interest groups. The results for the first year show the
programs are surpassing original estimates of energy savings and peak load reduction. Based on
these results, the programs are being refined, and new DSM programs are being developed by
the collaborative. This paper reviews the background on DSM in Nevada, describes the new
programs and their initial results, and summarizes other recent developments.
Background
Nevada adopted its first comprehensive statutory least-cost utility planning (now referred
to as integrated resource planning, or IRP) process in 1983, drawing on the experience at the
time of California and Wisconsin. The IRP process required all Nevada retail electric distribution
utilities under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission1 to file every two years a
resource plan detailing their future 20-year resource acquisition strategy to meet customer
growth. That plan, by statute, had to consider not only new generation options to meet load
growth, but also the means to reduce load growth through energy efficiency and load
management (also known as DSM) programs. This led Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific Power,
the primary electric distribution utilities in Nevada, to implement an array of DSM programs
from the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s. These programs enjoyed moderate success. For
example, the two utilities reported spending about $11 million per year on DSM programs in
1993 and 1994, and saving 350 GWh/yr as of 1994 due to cumulative DSM efforts (EIA 1995).
In the late 1990’s, Nevada, like many other states, was swept up in the public policy
experiment to create competitive retail markets for electricity (generically termed “electric
deregulation”).2 That experiment hypothesized that a radical change in the historical structure of
providing electric service would reduce electric rates, increase reliability, and improve energy
services for customers. Under restructuring, the traditional electric services of generation,
transmission, and distribution supplied to retail customers by a single vertically-integrated
electric utility granted a monopoly franchise to provide these integrated services would be
unbundled into “competitive” and “non-competitive” services. The competitive services would
1 The Commission was then designated in statute as the Public Service Commission of Nevada or referred to as the
PSCN, but it is now designated in statute as the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada or referred to as the PUCN.
2 Commonly referred to as “Electric Deregulation” the process actually entailed restructuring of the electric industry
to competitive (lesser regulated) and non-competitive (regulated) components.
