Including low-income customer participation in non-low-income programs, the CPITD reported verified<br />
energy savings achieved is 45,441 MWh/yr; this is 11.6 percent of the CPITD total portfolio reported<br />
verified energy savings. 910<br />

Tho low-income piirticip;itian iti general residential programs is computed as follows: Three of the four general residential progriims offered<br />
by the Company have Ihc majority of savings attributable to low-cost or no-cost measures. The Residential Home Performance <strong>Program</strong><br />
provides no-cost conservation kits and CFL give-aways and mailings, while the Energy Efficient Products program savings include upstream CFLs<br />
and appliances as well. For these programs, it is assumed that the low-income participation share is equal to the 75% of the fraction of LI<br />
residents in the service territory. That is, a low-income customer is 75% as likely as a non low-income customer to participate in the no-cost or<br />
low-cost programs. Though participation in the Appliance Turn-In program is free, it is assumed that a low-income customer is 50% as likely as<br />
a non low-income customer to participate in this program, as one must own an excess of appliance to participate. It is assumed that the<br />
participation rate for the Residential Energy Efficiency HVAC program is zero, as these programs primarily offer capital cost measures. The75%<br />
and 50% assumptions are loosely based on previous efforts to track low-income participation by matching account numbers to lists of past<br />
participants in income-qualified utility programs.<br />

The estimated cost of low-income savings from non-low-income programs is $3,337,670.<br />
