The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) began offering its Energy Management (EM) Program to industrial facilities in 2010. Through the program, BPA provides long-term energy management consulting services to educate and train industrial energy users for two primary purposes: (1) to develop and execute a long-term strategy for energy planning and (2) to permanently integrate energy management into their business planning.
This document presents the results of an evaluation of the lifetime of measures associated with Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA’s) Strategic Energy Management (SEM) offering for industrial facilities.
A team led by Evergreen Economics (which includes SBW Consulting) conducted this research. The objective of this evaluation was to estimate the effective useful life (EUL) and remaining useful life (RUL) for measures associated with BPA’s SEM program. This concerns only the lifetime of reported measures/activities, not the savings that they yield.
