- The CPUC's goal is to save energy during peak usage hours of nearly 5,000 MW by 2013.
- The CPUC's cumulative energy savings goal is more than 23,000 GWh by 2013.
- These savings are projected to meet 55 percent to 59 percent of the utilities' incremental electric energy needs between 2004-2013
- Target cumulative natural gas savings to total 453 MMth by 2013, a 116 percent increase in savings over the next decade.
- Energy efficiency critical in reducing environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and the CPUC will target all cost-effective opportunities to increase energy efficiency, such as setting aggressive programs that target measures with most savings during peak energy usage periods, funding statewide marketing/outreach to support savings goals, including solar hot water heating as an energy efficiency measure, and increasing the current level of funding for emerging technologies for 2006 and beyond.
