The purpose of the SAG Market Transformation Savings Working Group (MT Savings Working Group) is:
- To provide a forum to discuss policy issues related to market transformation (MT) savings evaluation and estimation
- To provide an opportunity to review specific MT initiatives and the data/approach proposed to be used to develop savings, including but not limited to:
- Logic Models
- Savings/unit
- Total market unit data collection
- Natural market baseline data and projections
- Service territory accounting
- Market progress indicators
- The duration of any MT savings credit
- To discuss evaluation questions related to MT initiatives; and
- To discuss, and if possible, reach consensus on savings protocols for MT initiatives that may be included in the IL-TRM
The MT Savings Working Group will report-back to the large group SAG following discussions, as needed.
Working Group Participation
- Participation in the MT Savings Working Group is open to all interested SAG participants, unless a topic may present a financial conflict of interest or when consensus resolution is needed, such as finalizing savings protocols for specific market transformation initiatives and finalizing policy issues. SAG participants are invited to self-select into the Working Group.
