Illustrative EE/DSM/DR Planning Process
What is the need without intervention?

• What are the alternative ways to create supply
  and/or reduce demand?
• What do these alternatives
• cost
• provide in capacity
• What other characteristics do they have?

What are the decision criteria and
constraints? How do various combinations of
alternatives impact the decision criteria? What
is the optimal combination of alternatives?
Which program designs are most appropriate? Deliv
ery of programs
Validation of actual program impacts Process
evaluations and improvements
Possible focus of Phase 1 Standards
