• Optimizing CDM Resources in Ontario

  Testimony by Scudder Parker

  This testimony presents an evaluation of a proposed integrated power system plan to a province-level energy board, identifies fault lines in the proposed plan's design, and suggests alternative approaches that employ best practices for maximizing feasible, cost-effective energy conservation measures.  The testimony essentially provides a case study for decision-markers in thinking through peak demand reduction strategies, institutionalizing market and program approaches to conservation, and applying rigorous and appropriate economic forecasting to build a sustainable system of energy efficiency throughout a region.
