Abstract
New England Electric has initiated, through
its three retail subsidiaries, an ambitious load
management and conservation program designed to
reduce its projected 1991 summer peak by 230
megawatts and save 335,000 megawatthours per
year. The effort is directed mainly toward the
commercial and industrial classes, which make up
62% of sales.
The overall program, called Partners In
Energy Planning, includes a performance
contracting or modified shared savings program, a
lighting subsidy program, a storage cooling
program, a standby generation program, residential
programs and rate programs.
This paper discusses the details of the
commercial and industrial programs and why they
are being implemented.
