West Penn Power AMENDED Program Year 3 Final Annual Report

2 Residential Appliance Turn-In Program
Provides residential customers a cash incentive and disposal of up to two large older efficient appliances
(refrigerators and freezers); and two Room Air Conditioners (RAC) per household per calendar year. All
units must be working and meet established size requirements. „
2.1 Program Updates
As-of January 1, 2012, West Penn Power's Energy Efficient Appliance Turn-In Program offerings and
rebate levels were aligned with the program offerings and rebate levels of the other three FirstEnergy
Pennsylvania EDCs: Penn Power, Met-Ed and Penelec.
2.2 Impact Evaluation Gross Savings
This program provides incentives for the turn in of three appliance types: refrigerators, freezers, and
room air conditioners. In PY3, refrigerators accounted for nearly 70% of the MWh reported and freezers
for about 25%. The evaluation process used a combination of web surveys (the main data collection
method) and follow-up phone calls to those who did not respond to the web survey.
The M&V values for this program are based on the energy savings resulting from a customer taking a
refrigerator, freezer or RAC out of service. The savings from refrigerator recycling are stipulated in the
TRM. The savings from RAC recycling are stipulated in an interim TRM protocol. While RAC energy
savings are dependent on location and are mapped using the participant's zip code, RAC demand savings
are not location dependent. The TRM protocols for refrigerator and freezer PY3 are substantially
different than the previous protocols. In PY3, the deemed energy impacts for refrigerators and freezers
are as follows:
Measure Description Unit Annual Energy Savings Unit Annual Demand Reduction
