EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PacifiCorp dba Rocky Mountain Power (“Company”) is a multi-jurisdictional electric utility
providing retail service to customers in California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and
Wyoming. Rocky Mountain Power serves approximately 82,000 customers in southeastern Idaho.
The Company, working in partnership with its retail customers and with the approval of the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”), acquires energy efficiency and peak reduction
resources as cost effective alternatives to the acquisition of supply-side resources. These resources
assist the Company in efficiently addressing load growth and contribute to the Company’s ability
to meet system peak requirements. Company energy efficiency and peak reduction programs
provide participating Idaho customers with tools that enable them to reduce or assist in the
management of their energy usage while reducing the overall costs to the Company’s customers.
These resources are relied upon in resource planning as a least cost alternative to supply-side
resources.
This report provides details on program results, activities, expenditures, and the status of the
demand-side management (“DSM”) Tariff Rider, Customer Efficiency Service Charge - Schedule
191 (“Schedule 191”) as of the reporting period from January 1, 2018 through
December 31, 2018. The Company, on behalf of its customers, invested $4.8 million in energy
efficiency resource acquisitions during the reporting period. The investment yielded
approximately 19.6 gigawatt-hours (“GWh”) of first year savings1 and approximately 4.0
megawatts (“MW”) of capacity reduction from energy efficiency.2 Net benefits based on the
projected value of the energy efficiency program savings over the life of the individual measures
are estimated at a negative $274 thousand.3
Pursuant to Commission Order No. 32196, the costs for the Idaho Irrigation Load Control Program
are allocated across PacifiCorp’s six-state system. Therefore, these costs are not recovered through
Schedule 191. However, additional information on the Irrigation Load Control Program is
provided later in this report.
The energy efficiency portfolio was cost effective only for the participant cost test for the reporting
period. The marginal cost effectiveness of the program is largely due to the reduction in decrement
values calculated for the 2017 Integrated Resource Plan. Home Energy Reports and Low Income
Weatherization programs were not cost effective in 2018 which decreased the portfolio level cost
effectiveness results. Further information is in the program sections below.
Under direction of Case No. GNR-E-12-01, Low Income Weatherization program uses the 10
percent energy conservation adder to the total resource cost test. As a result, Table 1 provides the
cost effectiveness of the energy efficiency portfolio including and excluding Low Income
Weatherization.

Portfolio-level cost effectiveness includes portfolio costs, such as the Potential Assessment and
DSM system database. Sector-level cost effectiveness, reported in the Residential and Non-
Residential sections of this report, includes sector-specific evaluation, measurement and
verification (“EM&V”) expenditures. The Company includes quantifiable non-energy benefits at
the portfolio and residential level, as well as the Home Energy Savings and Low Income
Weatherization program level. Appendix 1 provides 2018 cost effectiveness performance.
4 The PTRC plus 10 percent includes a benefit adder to account for non-quantified environmental and non-
energy benefits of conservation resources over supply-side alternatives.
5 The TRC compares the total cost of a supply-side resource to the total cost of energy efficiency resources,
including costs paid by the customer in excess of the program incentives. The test is used to determine if
an energy efficiency program is cost effective from a total cost perspective.
6 The UCT compares the total cost incurred by the utility to the benefits associated with displacing or
deferring supply-side resources.
7 The PCT compares the resource paid directly by participants to the savings realized by the participants.
8 The RIM examines the impact of energy efficiency on utility rates. Unlike supply-side investments, energy
efficiency programs reduce energy sales. Reduced energy sales lowers revenues putting upward pressure
on rates as the remaining fixed costs are spread over fewer kilowatt-hours.

Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Planning Process
Page 10 of 44
PLANNING PROCESS
Integrated Resource Plan
The Company develops a biennial integrated resource plan (“IRP”) as a means of balancing cost,
risk, uncertainty, supply reliability/deliverability and long-run public policy goals.12 The plan
presents a framework of future actions to ensure the Company continues to provide reliable,
reasonably priced service to customers. Energy efficiency and peak management opportunities are
incorporated into the IRP based on their availability, characteristics and costs.
PacifiCorp divides energy efficiency and peak management resources into four general classes:
Class 1 DSM—Resources from fully dispatchable or scheduled firm capacity product
offerings/programs—Class 1 DSM programs are those for which capacity savings occur
as a result of active Company control or advanced scheduling. Once customers agree to
participate in a Class 1 DSM program, the timing and persistence of the load reduction is
involuntary on their part within the agreed upon limits and parameters of the program.
Program examples include residential and small commercial central air conditioner load
control programs that are dispatchable, and irrigation load management and interruptible
or curtailment programs (which may be dispatchable or scheduled firm, depending on the
particular program design or event noticing requirements).
Class 2 DSM—Resources from non-dispatchable, firm energy and capacity product
offerings/programs—Class 2 DSM programs are those for which sustainable energy and
related capacity savings are achieved through facilitation of technological advancements
in equipment, appliances, lighting and structures, or repeatable and predictable voluntary
actions on a customer’s part to manage the energy use at their facility or home. Class 2
DSM programs generally provide financial or service incentives to customers to improve
the efficiency of existing or new customer-owned facilities through: (1) the installation of
more efficient equipment, such as lighting, motors, air conditioners, or appliances; (2)
upgrading building efficiency through improved insulation levels, windows, etc.; or (3)
behavioral modifications, such as strategic energy management efforts at business facilities
and home energy reports for residential customers. The savings endure (are considered
firm) over the life of the improvement or customer action. Program examples include
comprehensive commercial and industrial new and retrofit energy efficiency programs,
comprehensive home improvement retrofit programs, strategic energy management and
home energy reports.
Class 3 DSM—Resources from price responsive energy and capacity product
offerings/programs—Class 3 DSM programs seek to achieve short-duration (hour by
hour) energy and capacity savings from actions taken by customers voluntarily, based on
a financial incentive or signal. As a result of their voluntary nature, participation tends to
12 Information on the Company’s integrated resource planning process can be found at the following
address: http://www.pacificorp.com/es/irp.html
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Planning Process
Page 11 of 44
be low and savings are less predictable, making Class 3 DSM resources less suitable to
incorporate into resource planning, at least until their size and customer behavior profile
provide sufficient information for a reliable diversity result (predictable impact) for
modeling and planning purposes. Savings typically only endure for the duration of the
incentive offering and, in many cases, loads tend to be shifted rather than being avoided.
The impacts of Class 3 DSM resources may not be explicitly considered in the resource
planning process; however, they are captured naturally in long-term load growth patterns
and forecasts. Program examples include time-of-use pricing plans, critical peak pricing
plans, and inverted block tariff designs.
Class 4 DSM—Non-incented behavioral-based savings achieved through broad
energy education and communication efforts—Class 4 DSM programs promote
reductions in energy or capacity usage through broad-based energy education and
communication efforts. The program objectives are to help customers better understand
how to manage their energy usage through no-cost actions such as conservative thermostat
settings and turning off appliances, equipment and lights when not in use. The programs
are also used to increase customer awareness of additional actions they might take to save
energy and the service and financial tools available to assist them. Class 4 DSM programs
help foster an understanding and appreciation of why utilities seek customer participation
in Classes 1, 2 and 3 DSM programs. Similar to Class 3 DSM resources, the impacts of
Class 4 DSM programs may not be explicitly considered in the resource planning process;
however, they are captured naturally in long-term load growth patterns and forecasts.
Program examples include Company brochures with energy savings tips, customer
newsletters focusing on energy efficiency, case studies of customer energy efficiency
projects, and public education and awareness programs.
Class 1 and 2 DSM resources are included as resource options in the resource planning process.
Class 3 and 4 DSM actions are not considered explicitly in the resource planning process, however,
the impacts are captured naturally in long-term load growth patterns and forecasts.
As technical support for the IRP, the Company engages a third-party consultant to conduct a DSM
Potential Assessment.13 The study primarily seeks to develop reliable estimates of the magnitude,
timing and cost of DSM resources likely available to PacifiCorp over the 20-year planning horizon
of the IRP. The main focus of the Potential Assessment is on resources with sufficient reliability
characteristics that are anticipated to be technically feasible and considered achievable during the
IRP’s 20-year planning horizon. By definition, the estimated achievable technical potential is the
energy efficiency potential that may be achievable to acquire during the 20-year planning horizon
prior to cost effectiveness screening.
Demand-side resources vary in their reliability, load reduction and persistence over time. Based
on the significant number of measures and resource options reviewed and evaluated in the Potential
Assessment, it is impractical to incorporate each as a stand-alone resource in the IRP. To address
13 PacifiCorp’s Demand-side Resource Potential Assessments can be found at
http://www.pacificorp.com/es/dsm.html.
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Planning Process
Page 12 of 44
this issue, Class 2 DSM measures and Class 1 DSM programs are bundled by cost for modeling
against competing supply-side resource options reducing the number of discrete resource options
the IRP must consider to a more manageable number.
Cost effectiveness
The Company evaluates program implementation cost effectiveness (both prospectively and
retrospectively) under a variety of tests to identify the relative impact and/or value (e.g., near-term
rate impact, program value to participants, etc.) to customers and the Company.
Program cost effectiveness is performed using a Company specific modeling tool, created by a
third party consultant. The tool is designed to incorporate PacifiCorp data and values such as
avoided costs, and generally follows the methodology specified in California’s Standard Practice
Manual. The analysis assesses the costs and benefits of DSM resource programs from different
stakeholder perspectives, including participants and non-participants, based on four tests described
in the Standard Practice Manual (TRC, UCT, PCT and RIM) as well as an additional fifth test,
PTRC.

Estimated Peak Contributions from Energy Efficiency Programs
The Company estimates its capacity reduction during PacifiCorp’s system peak period from the
2018 energy efficiency portfolio. An energy-to-capacity conversion factor, developed from Class
2 DSM selections in the 2017 IRP, is used to translate 2018 energy savings to estimated demand
reduction during the system peak. The use of this factor in the MW calculation assumes that the
energy efficiency resources acquired through the Company’s programs have the same average load
profile as those energy efficiency resources selected in the 2017 IRP. Use of this factor in
determining the MW contribution of energy efficiency programs is detailed in Table 4.

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS
The residential energy efficiency portfolio is comprised of three programs: Home Energy Savings,
Home Energy Report, and Low Income Weatherization. As shown in Table 5, the residential
portfolio was cost effective based on three of the five standard cost effectiveness tests for the 2018
reporting period. The UCT for the residential portfolio was below 1.0 and was mainly driven by
the cost effectiveness results of Low Income Weatherization and Home Energy Report programs.

The total number of retailers and trade allies participating in the program is currently 64. Detail of
participating retailers by delivery channel and measure type is available in Appendix 4.
Program Changes
The Home Energy Savings program made changes to existing measures in its flexible tariff filing.
The updated changes were made to better align with current market practices and expand customer
eligibility for products offered in the program, specifically smart thermostats.
The existing contract with CLEAResult will expire on March 31, 2019. In an effort to be prepared
for the termination of the contract and to have the ability to improve program performance quickly,
a Request for Proposal for a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) was issued and awarded to six
different firms who qualify to manage either all aspects of the program or specific pieces, such as
marketing and engineering services.

In the fourth quarter, a Request for Proposal was issued to the qualified bidders of the MSA to
implement the Company’s residential program broken down by service categories. Six proposals
were received. Two bidders, Evergreen Incorporated and CLEAResult won the bids and are
positioned to begin program implementation on or before March 31, 2019.
Evaluation
In 2018, work began in collecting data to support a process and impact evaluation for program
years 2017-2018. Company anticipates the report to be published by end of 2019.

HOME ENERGY REPORTS PROGRAM
The Home Energy Reports program is a behavioral program designed to decrease participant
energy usage by providing comparative energy usage data for similar homes located in the same
geographical area. Additionally, the report provides the participant with information on how to
decrease their energy usage. Equipped with this information, participants can modify behavior
and/or make structural equipment, lighting or appliance modifications to reduce their overall
electric energy consumption.
The program achieved 2,802,000 kWh of savings at site in 2018. This is a decrease of
approximately eight percent when compared to 2017 performance and is explained below.
Program cost effectiveness is provided in Table 9.

Reports were initially provided to approximately 12,937 customers in 2018. The number of
participant’s decreases over time due to customer attrition related to general customer churn
(customer move-outs) and customers requesting to be removed from the program. In 2018, only
0.45% of customers have requested to be removed from the program. As of December 2018, there
were 12,669 customers were active recipients of Home Energy Reports. In 2018, 58 total
customers opted out of the program.
Participants have access to a web portal containing the same information about their usage that
was provided in the reports. In addition, all Idaho residential customers (including non-
participants) have access to the web portal which contains other benefits such as the ability for
customers to update their home profile (for more accurate comparisons) and suggestions on ways
to save energy.
Program Management
The program manager who is responsible for the Home Energy Reports program in Idaho is also
responsible for the program in Utah and Wyoming as well as Irrigation Load Control program in
Idaho and Utah and Cool Keeper program in Utah. For each program and in each state the program
manager is responsible for the cost effectiveness of the program, identifying and contracting with
the program administrator through a competitive bid process, establishing and monitoring program
performance and compliance, and continually improving the program.

Program Administration
The Home Energy Reports program is administered by Bidgely. Bidgely’s Utility Artificial
Intelligence platform leverages energy disaggregation to provide customers with personalized
information regarding their energy usage by appliance and how their usage compares to similar
homes. Furthermore, users receive recommendations on how to save energy and money by making
small behavioral changes to their energy consumption. The Company contracted with Bidgely to
provide energy savings, software services, and delivery of energy reports to customers.
Bidgely is responsible for the following:
● Design and distribution of paper and electronic reports.
● Maximizing email treatment for customers receiving electronic reports.
● Deploying and maintaining a web portal – Bidgely operated and maintained a customer
web portal which users can visit for additional information about their energy usage and
saving opportunities. Customers can access the web portal from the Company’s website16.
Program Changes
In January 2018, the Company signed a contract with Bidgely to administer the Home Energy
Reports program. As a result of Bidgely becoming the new program administrator, 2018 incurred
additional cost for initial startup fees as the Company transitioned from Opower to Bidgely.

Program Management
The program manager who is responsible for the Low Income Weatherization program in Idaho is
also responsible for the program in California, Utah, Washington and Wyoming; energy assistance
programs in Idaho, California, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming; and bill discount
programs in California, Utah and Washington. The program manager is responsible for the cost
effectiveness of the weatherization program in each state, partnerships and agreements in place
with local agencies that serve income eligible households, establishing and monitoring program
performance and compliance, and recommending changes in the terms and conditions set out in
the agency contracts and state specific tariffs.
Program Administration
The Company contracts with Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership (“EICAP”) and South
Eastern Idaho Community Action Agency (“SEICAA”) to provide services. The two agencies
receive federal funds allocated to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (“IDHW”) and
administered by the Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (“CAPAI”). Energy
efficiency measures are installed in the homes of income eligible households throughout the
Company’s service territory by EICAP and SEICAA. The Company is required to fund 85 percent
of the cost of approved measures, pursuant to Commission Order No. 32151. Agencies cover
remaining costs with the funding received by IDHW.
EICAP and SEICAA are responsible for the following:
Income Verification – Agencies determine participant income eligibility based on CAPAI
guidelines. Household’s interested in obtaining weatherization services apply through the
agencies. The current income guidelines can be viewed at CAPAI’s website
http://www.capai.org/wx
Energy Audit – Agencies use a United States Department of Energy approved audit tool to
determine the cost effective measures to install in the participant’s homes (audit results
must indicate a savings to investment ratio of 1.0 or greater).
Installation of Measures – Agencies install the energy efficiency measures.
Post Inspections – Agencies inspect 100 percent of completed homes. CAPAI also inspects
a random sample of homes. See Appendix 3 for the verification summary.

Billing Notification – Agencies are required to submit a billing to Company within 120
days after job completion. The agencies include a form indicating the measures installed
and associated cost on each completed home along with their invoice.
Low Income Energy Conservation Education
Commission Order No. 32788 authorized the Company to fund the Low Income Energy
Conservation Education with $25,000 annually. These education services are provided by EICAP
and SEICAA and target participants who receive Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
(“LIHEAP”) funds. EICAP, SEICAA and the Company discussed the allocation of the annual
funding amount with the agencies determining the efficiency measures to distribute. EICAP
received $16,000 and SEICAA $9,000 for a total of $25,000 prior to the beginning of their
2018/2019 LIHEAP program year. While the conservation education activities do result in energy
savings, the savings are not considered when calculating the performance results of the Low
Income Weatherization program, other energy efficiency programs or portfolios results.18
The agencies provided a conservation education curriculum to households and reported the
following activities and program specifics for 2018 in Table 13.

Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Non-Residential Energy Efficiency
Page 27 of 44
Program Administration
The program is primarily administered through two delivery channels that are differentiated based
upon customer needs: contracted DSM delivery and internal DSM delivery. For customers with
high energy savings potential, the program offers Energy Project Manager Co-funding
administered through its internal DSM delivery.
Contracted DSM Delivery
The Contracted DSM Delivery channel generally targets typical opportunities that serve small to
medium sized business customers and, to a lesser extent, large business customers. Administration
is provided through Company contracts with Nexant, Inc. (“Nexant”), Cascade Energy
(“Cascade”) and Willdan Energy Solutions (“Willdan”). Nexant and Cascade manage trade ally
coordination, training and application processing services for commercial measures and
industrial/agricultural measures respectively. Willdan manages the small business direct
installation offer.
Nexant and Cascade are responsible for the following:
Trade ally and Midstream/LED instant incentive engagement – includes identification,
recruiting, training, supporting and assisting trade allies and distributors to increase sales
and installation of energy efficient equipment at qualifying business customer facilities.
Incentive processing and administrative support – includes handling incoming inquiries as
assigned, processing incentive applications, developing and maintaining standardized
analysis tools, providing program design services, and evaluation and regulatory support
upon request.
Custom analysis and project facilitation for small/medium customer projects.
Managing savings acquisition to targets within budget.
Continual improvement of program operations and customer satisfaction.
Inspections – includes verifying on an on-going basis the installation of measures. A
summary of the inspection process is in Appendix 3.
Willdan is responsible for:
Direct customer outreach, energy assessment, product supply, installation and inspection.
Incentive processing and administrative support – includes handling incoming inquiries as
assigned, processing incentive applications, developing and maintaining standardized
analysis tools, providing program design services, and evaluation and regulatory support
upon request.
Managing savings acquisition to targets within budget.
Continual improvement of program operations and customer satisfaction.
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Non-Residential Energy Efficiency
Page 28 of 44
Internal DSM Delivery
The Internal DSM Delivery channel targets large energy users who generally have multiple
opportunities for energy efficiency improvements, such as those that require complex custom
analysis. These large projects are administered by internal Company project managers and allows
for a single point of contact to assist customers with their various opportunities. In this delivery
channel, project managers are responsible for the following:
Single point of contact for large customers to assist with their energy efficiency projects.
Provide customer outreach and education of energy efficiency opportunities.
Facilitate custom energy efficiency analysis, quality assurance and verification of savings
through a pre-contracted group of engineering firms. (See Table 20 below.)
Manage engineering firms to ensure program compliance, quality of work and customer
satisfaction.
Manage wattsmart Business projects through the whole project lifecycle.
Infrastructure
Contracted DSM Delivery – Trade Ally & Midstream Distributor Networks
To help increase and improve the supplier and installation contractor infrastructure for energy-
efficient equipment and services, the Company established and developed trade ally networks for
lighting, HVAC and motors/VFDs. This work includes identifying and recruiting trade allies,
providing program and technical training and providing sales support on an ongoing basis. The
current list of trade allies who have applied and been approved as participating vendors are posted
on the Company website and is included as Appendix 5 to this report. In most cases, customers
are not required to select a vendor from these lists to receive an incentive.19
In 2018 the Company launched the midstream lighting distributor network to provide an instant,
point-of-purchase discount for replacement lamps and retrofit kits sold through qualifying local
distributors. This offer complements the existing prescriptive and small business direct offer to
deliver new savings from the lamp replacement/maintenance market and accelerate adoption of
LED technologies.
Through this new program channel, the Company is able to capture non-residential customers who
purchase and self-install low-cost, matching replacement lamps at their facilities despite the
availability of more efficient alternatives. The Company can also serve customers seeking lamps
for maintenance replacement that are not served by the existing wattsmart Business offerings.
19 Customers receiving Small Business Lighting incentives do need to use an approved contractor that has
been selected from a competitive request for bid process.
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Non-Residential Energy Efficiency
Page 29 of 44
Contracted DSM Delivery – Small Business Direct Installation Offer
Program year 2018 was a more challenging year for “wattsmart Small Business Direct”. Increased
savings targets combined with deeper market penetration and increased product costs due to
Chinese tariff regulations resulted in a much more challenging effort to serve the small business
community. In 2018, the offer resulted in:
2,029,112 kWh installed directly at customer sites;
15 cities served: Ammon, Ashton, Georgetown, Hamer, Idaho Falls, Paris, Parker,
Rexburg, Rigby, Ririe, Saint Anthony, Shelly, Terreton, Teton, Ucon
169 installed customer projects;
Average kWh per installed project: 12,007;
Average customer copay: $1,161;
Average customer incentive: $3,482.
Internal DSM Delivery
Given the diversity of the non-residential customers served by the Company, a pre-approved, pre-
contracted group of engineering firms are used to perform facility specific energy efficiency
analysis, quality assurance and verification services. Larger customers are managed by internal
project managers, while small/medium customers are outsourced directly to a qualified program
administration firm for custom analysis. Each customer’s project is directly managed by one of
the Company’s in-house project managers. The in-house team works directly with the customer or
through the appropriate Company regional business manager located in Idaho.
Table 18 lists the engineering firms under contract with the Company to provide energy efficiency
analysis for internal project managers.

Energy Management
Energy Management is a system of practices that creates reliable and persistent electric energy
savings through improved operations, maintenance and management practices in customer
facilities. Energy management can result in improved system operation, lower energy costs,
reduced maintenance and repair costs and extended equipment life, and improved occupant
comfort and productivity for tenants and employees. This program offering is being emphasized
by the utility and pushed out into the market in the coming year.
In 2018, the Company put significant effort into engaging with water and wastewater customer
through the Strategic Energy Management program model. Partnerships were leveraged with BPA
and Idaho Power to bring together like groups of customers in an effort to achieve the most cost
effective savings as possible. These efforts, while not resulting in significant energy savings in
calendar year 2018, will yield savings in future years.
Energy Project Manager Co-Funding
The Energy Project Manager offering is a co-funded staff resource at a customer facility to develop
and manage energy projects. Customers can establish an annual energy savings goal and receive
Energy Project Manager Co-funding proportionate to that goal (subject to caps). To date, there is
one customer in Idaho who consistently participates in this offer due to their large size. Table 19
illustrates how Energy Project Manager’s may be incented.

Program Changes
In January 2018, the Company posted changes to the wattsmart Business Program. These changes
included:
Restructuring of lighting retrofit incentive offering;
Addition of prescriptive irrigation incentives;
Simplification of HVAC incentive table;
Addition of advanced rooftop control unit measures;
Adjustments to cool roof measures;
Addition of midmarket lighting incentive program; and
Adjustment to the Small Business Direct Install offering.
Restructuring Lighting Retrofit Offering
Customers now have access to a broad selection of lighting upgrade options ranging from basic
lamp replacements to full system redesign with new fixtures and advanced controls. Lighting
incentives were restructured in an effort to fit the needs of customers while making sure that the
program was incentivizing the proper behavior needed to move the lighting market further toward
adoption of efficient technologies. Some of the items eligible for incentives in this restructuring
include full fixture replacement, fixture retrofit kits, street lighting, basic controls and advanced
controls.
Addition of Irrigation Incentive Tables
The Company added prescriptive measure incentives in three groups: equipment for wheel line,
hand line, or other portable systems (i.e. not solid set). These incentives are retrofit only for
equipment for pivots and linear move systems. Pump VFD incentives are for retrofit or New
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Non-Residential Energy Efficiency
Page 32 of 44
Construction. The intent was is to make the wattsmart prescriptive offerings consistent with the
Regional Technical Forum methodology.
Simplify HVAC Incentive Table
To allow the program to more quickly and readily adjust to changes to energy codes, federal
efficiency standards and CEE high efficiency equipment specifications. To simplify the HVAC
incentive tables, they were adjusted to list the equipment type, category, minimum efficiency
requirements or standards, and the maximum incentive. Specific customer incentives were further
defined by equipment size and efficiency categories. These specific customer incentives are posted
on the company website and program documents.
Addition of Advanced Rooftop Control Unit Measures
The Company added this measure as significant energy savings can be achieved by retrofitting
existing rooftop units with motor and economizer controls. Savings are based on site specific
information including annual building operation hours and measure costs.
Adjustments to Cool Roof Measures
Recent evaluations and measure reviews have shown the incremental costs and reported savings
for cool roofs needed to be adjusted. New research has determined that the savings and incremental
cost are now lower. In alignment with the lower savings and incremental costs, the offered
incentive rate was adjusted to $0.05 per square foot for both retrofit and new construction cool
roof measures.
Addition of Mid-Market Incentives
As summarized above in the program infrastructure section, the addition of mid-market incentives
provided an instant, point-of-purchase discount for replacement lamps and retrofit kits sold
through qualifying local distributors. This offer complements the existing prescriptive and small
business direct offer to deliver new savings from the lamp replacement/maintenance market and
accelerate adoption of LED technologies.
Adjustments to Small Business Direct Installation Program
The Company increased the maximum “up to” incentive amount from $5,000 to $7,500 per facility
and increased the maximum “up to” customer co-pay from 25% to 50%. The flexibility in these
higher amounts enabled additional kWh savings and helped to manage the cost effectiveness of
the offering while keeping it active in the market. The actual incentive amount and customer co-
pay using the maximum “up to” thresholds was set at $7,500 per facility and a 25% customer co-
pay for 2018.

Evaluation
The wattsmart Business program evaluation for program years 2016-2017 was performed and
published in late 2018. Key findings include:
Overall realization rate of 96.1 percent and an overall net-to-gross of 84 percent.
The program was cost effective from all perspectives except the RIM.
A complete list of program evaluation recommendations and the Company’s response is provided
in Appendix 8.
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Peak Reduction Program
Page 34 of 44
PEAK REDUCTION PROGRAM
Peak Reduction programs assist the Company in balancing customer energy use during heavy peak
summer hours. Further, it assists in deferring the need for higher cost investments in delivery
infrastructure and generation resources that would otherwise be needed to serve those loads for a
select few hours each year. These programs help the Company maximize the efficiency of the
Company’s existing electrical system and reduce costs for all customers.
Irrigation Load Control
The Irrigation Load Control program is offered to irrigation customers receiving electric service
on Schedule 10, Irrigation and Soil Drainage Pumping Power Service. Participants enrolled with
a third party administrator to allow the curtailment of their electricity usage in exchange for an
incentive. Customer incentives are based on a site’s average available load during load control
program hours adjusted for the number of opt outs or non-participation. The program hours are
12pm to 8pm Mountain Time, Monday through Friday, and exclude holidays. For most
participants, their irrigation equipment is set up with a dispatchable two-way control system giving
the Company control of the equipment. Under this control option, participants are provided a day-
ahead notification of control events and have the choice to opt-out of a limited number of dispatch

COMMUNICATIONS, OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
The Company uses earned media, customer communications, paid media, and program-specific
media to communicate the value of energy efficiency, provide information regarding low-cost, no-
cost energy efficiency measures and to educate customers on the availability of technical
assistance, services and incentives. The overall goal is to engage customers to reduce their energy
usage through behavioral changes as well as changes in equipment, appliances, and structures. The
Company calls this multi-faceted campaign “wattsmart” and shares a common theme: Rocky
Mountain Power wants to help you save money and energy.
Customer Communications
As part of the Company’s regular communications to its customers, newsletters are delivered to
residential customers to provide energy efficiency tips, programs and incentives. Bill inserts and
outer envelopes that feature energy efficiency messages are consistently used. The Company also
uses its website and social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, to communicate and engage
customers on DSM offers and incentives. Table 24 shows the communication source and the
frequency of the message.

Twitter Weekly tweets
Facebook Information and tips posted 3-4 times per
month. Promoted posts and mobile ads
are also used where appropriate.
Connect residential newsletter Newsletters are sent via bill insert and
email 4 times per year with energy
efficiency information
Home Energy Savings program inserts 1 per year
Paid Media/ wattsmart Campaign
In 2018, the Company deployed a wattsmart advertising campaign to inform and educate
residential customers about the benefits energy efficiency contributes to the greater good in
addition to saving money. The overall paid media plan objective is to effectively reach our
customers through a multi-media mix that extends both reach and frequency. Tapping into all
resources with consistent messaging has been the Company’s approach and will continue to be
refined.
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Communications, Outreach, and Education
Page 37 of 44
Key strategies include:
Implement an advertising campaign that features wattsmart energy efficiency messaging
and connect it to benefits for Idaho.
Promote customer conservation (behavioral changes) and increase participation and
savings through the Company’s wattsmart DSM programs.
Motivate customers in Idaho to reduce consumption independently or to do so by
participating in the Company’s wattsmart DSM programs.
Educate customers on how these programs can help them save money on their utility bills,
reduce energy consumption and to help Idaho thrive.
Demonstrate by example how business customers are saving energy and enjoying the
benefits of being wattsmart.
The audiences for these messages were prioritized as follows:
Residential customers
Low-income customers
Small/mid-size business customers
Large commercial/industrial customers
Retailers, contractors and trade allies
General Key Messages:
Using energy wisely at home and in your business saves you money, and it’s good for Idaho.
Surprising as it sounds, Rocky Mountain Power wants to help you use less energy.
Rocky Mountain Power is your energy partner
o We want to help you keep your costs down.
o We offer wattsmart programs and cash incentives to help you save money and
energy in your home or business.
o Being wattsmart is good for your wallet, and for Idaho, now and into the future.
To reach residential customers, the Company used TV, radio, social, and digital. Large-scale
typography along with beautiful scenic images of Idaho was combined with footage of people
taking smalls steps (changing lighting to LED lamps, adjusting smart thermostat setting) to save
energy and money and to make a big difference for Idaho and the environment, now and into the
future.
New creative was developed to target business customers and included TV, radio, print, social
media, and digital. An overlay of typography to punctuate key points was included in TV ads so
messages resonate better when played on hand-held devices when the sound is muted. Ads focused
on case studies and highlighted business customers that saved energy and money by being
wattsmart. Ads geo-targeted by zip code were used on Facebook to reach small business customers
with time-sensitive messages to encourage lighting upgrades.

Program Specific Communications
All energy efficiency program marketing and communications are under the wattsmart umbrella
to ensure a seamless transition from changing customer behavior to the actions they could take by
participating in specific programs. Separate marketing activities administered by and specific to
the programs ran in conjunction with the wattsmart campaign.
Home Energy Savings
Information on the Home Energy Savings program is communicated to customers, retailers and
trade allies through a variety of channels including emails, bill inserts, newsletters, press releases,
website and social media.
The program communications team supported two main initiatives in 2018: 1) Promoting smart
thermostat instant incentives, and 2) Offering a free advanced power strip to customers.
For smart thermostats, emails were sent to thousands of customers in the spring and during the
holiday shopping season to tie with Nest and Ecobee offers. CLEAResult delivered the emails
through their marketing automation platform.
In the fall, Idaho customers received an email and/or direct mail offer for a free advanced power
strip. Approximately 4,000 customers ordered the APS and received the package with information
on how to use the device.
A summary of outreach is displayed in Table 26:

Home Energy Reports
In 2018, the Company transitioned Home Energy Reports from Oracle to Bidgely. To help with
the transition, emails were sent to 13,246 customers in advance of receiving their first Bidgely
report to inform them of the new home energy reports.
As a new feature, customers can easily use their Rocky Mountain Power login credentials to access
their usage data, appliance breakdown and recommendations on the Bidgely platform.
Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Communications, Outreach, and Education

wattsmart Business program
During 2018, communications reminded customers to inquire about incentives for lighting and
lighting controls, HVAC upgrades with an emphasis on advanced rooftop controls, irrigation
upgrades and other energy efficiency measures. Radio and print ads featured case study examples
from program participants in the spring and focused on incentives for lighting upgrades in early
summer. Emails and digital search directed viewers to the Company’s website.20 Collateral
material for wattsmart Business was used for direct customer contact by the Company’s project
managers, regional business managers, and its trade allies.
Emails encouraged customers to reach out for free energy assessments for lighting and/or HVAC
improvements.
Promoted posts on wattsmart Small Business Direct, a program specifically designed to help small
businesses upgrade to energy efficient lighting, was promoted in geo-targeted zip codes on
Facebook.
Direct mail was also used in the spring and fall to target irrigation customers and to encourage
energy saving retrofits.
The program’s breakdown of impressions by media type is shown in Table 27.

Energy Education in Schools
The Company offers a wattsmart Schools education program through the National Energy
Foundation (“NEF”). The program is designed to develop a culture of energy efficiency among
teachers, students, and families. The centerpiece is a series of one-hour presentations with hands-
on, large group activities for 4th grade students. Teachers are provided instructional materials for
use in their classrooms, and students are sent home with a Household Report Card to explore
energy use in their homes and to encourage efficient behaviors.

Rocky Mountain Power Idaho Report Communications, Outreach, and Education
Page 43 of 44
In 2018, NEF conducted presentations in Idaho schools in the fall. Presentations were given during
one week in September and a second week in October. The program met its outreach goals by
completing 24 presentations to reach 1,723 students and 73 teachers with 87 percent of “Household
Report Cards”, which are used as part of a home energy audit activity, completed and returned.
The Idaho NEF report is available as Appendix 7.

EVALUATIONS
Evaluations are performed by independent external evaluators to validate energy and demand
savings derived from the Company’s energy efficiency programs. Industry best practices are
adopted by the Company with regards to principles of operation, methodologies, evaluation
methods, definitions of terms, and protocols including those outlined in the National Action Plan
for Energy Efficiency Program Impact Evaluation and the California Evaluation Framework
guides.
A component of the overall evaluation efforts is aimed at the reasonable verification of
installations of energy efficient measures through review of documentation, surveys and/or
ongoing onsite inspections.
Verification of the potential to achieve savings involves regular inspection and commissioning of
equipment. The Company engages in programmatic verification activities, including inspections,
quality assurance reviews, and tracking checks and balances as part of routine program
implementation and may rely upon these practices in the verification of installation information
for the purposes of savings verifications in advance of more formal impact evaluation results. A
summary of the inspection process is included in Appendix 3.
Evaluation, measurement and verification tasks are segregated within the Company organization
to ensure they are performed and managed by personnel who are not responsible for program
management.
Information on evaluation activities completed or in progress during 2018 is summarized in Table
28 below. Summaries of the recommendations are provided in Appendix 8. The evaluation report
is available at www.pacificorp.com/es/dsm/idaho.html.

Re: Cost-Effectiveness Results for the Home Energy Savings Program - Idaho
Navigant estimated the cost-effectiveness results for the Idaho Home Energy Savings Program,
based on 2017 costs and savings estimates provided by PacifiCorp. This memo provides the cost-
effectiveness results for the overall program and for the 9 measure categories.
Cost-effectiveness was tested using the 2017 IRP decrement for all measure categories. The
program passes the cost-effectiveness for the UCT test. The memo consists of the following tables.

Program Overview
Program Description
Be wattsmart, Begin at home, an energy efficiency education program, is a collaborative partnership between
Rocky Mountain Power and the National Energy Foundation (NEF). This unique and interactive program teaches
the importance of energy and natural resources and their impact on the environment. The objective is to expand
and promote energy awareness through a school-based education program which encourages Idaho students and
teachers to change behaviors which will impact the energy consumption in their homes and community. Teachers
are also provided teaching materials to support further classroom instruction on this valuable message.
The program expanded in 2018 to include an additional four Idaho schools within the Rocky Mountain Power
territory. This increased the total number of schools in the Idaho program to 24 schools.
Program Administration
Be wattsmart, Begin at home is administered by NEF, a non-profit organization (established in 1976) dedicated
to the development, dissemination and implementation of supplementary educational materials, programs and
services relating primarily to energy, energy safety, the environment and natural resources. Our mission remains
constant, to cultivate and promote an energy literate society. NEF is pleased to report on activities of the Be
wattsmart, Begin at home energy efficiency education program conducted during the 2018 – 2019 school year.
Anne Lowe, Vice President – Operations, oversees program organization. Gary Swan, Vice President – Development,
oversees contract accounting. Patti Clark, Program Director, is responsible for overseeing and implementing the
scope of work and Megan Hirschi is responsible for scheduling the presentations. A team of trained and seasoned
presenters brought the interactive, hands-on program to Idaho schools during September and October of 2018.
Building Collaborations
The Idaho Content Curriculum Standards were adopted by the Idaho State Department of Education for all
K-12 students within the state. The Be wattsmart, Begin at home program aligns appropriately with the 4th grade
standards. Teachers appreciate the collaborative efforts to align program components to their learning standards.
Curriculum correlations were provided to teacher participants in their Teacher Guide delivered to each teacher
prior to the presentation date.
Program Implementation
This program was first implemented in the fall of 2017 and expanded in the fall of 2018 to include an additional
four schools. Principals of eligible schools were sent a letter to introduce the program offered by Rocky Mountain
Power and teachers were initially emailed with follow-up calls from Patti Clark or Megan Hirschi. Questions were
addressed and highlights of the program content were introduced to teachers with an emphasis on how the
program aligns with Idaho content standards.
Program Registration
Registration for the program was online at wattsmart.com/begin. Each registered school was checked against the
qualified school list before email and phone communications were made with teachers to determine optimum
presentation dates and student numbers.
After registration was qualified, a series of email communications with teachers, was sent automatically by the
program registration website. The website calculated Home Energy Worksheet returns as well as earned gift card
levels and communicated this information to the participating teachers. Later communications were customized
through programming to be sent only to teachers needing a reminder to return their program documents.

Be wattsmart, Begin at home Presentation
Be wattsmart, Begin at home presentations were given one week in September and a second week during the
month of October 2018 to accommodate the various scheduled Harvest recesses. The presentation featured a
custom Keynote slideshow that brought energy concepts to the forefront of Idaho education. The presentation
focused on important concepts, such as natural resources, electrical generation, the energy mix used by Rocky
Mountain Power to generate electricity and tips for energy efficiency in the home.
The presentation provided interactive activities that involved and engaged the audience. Students participated in
making a human electrical circuit, during which they learned key core curriculum concepts such as insulators and
conductors of electricity and electrical generation. Student volunteers used props to demonstrate the process
of electrical generation for their classmates. All students reviewed material learned with an “Energy Lingo” review
activity at designated points throughout the presentation. To help students remember energy efficiency tips,
participants viewed “Caitlynn Power” energy efficiency video vignettes produced by PacifiCorp. These videos
were new to the program this year and were well received by both teachers and students. At the end of each
short video, students learned a rhyme about Caitlyn’s wise energy choices to help them remember the concept.
The last portion of the presentation communicated the importance of the program take-home pieces. These
documents enabled households to participate in energy education along with students.
Program Materials
A Parent Letter was provided to explain the importance of Be wattsmart, Begin at home. In addition, students
took home a Student Guide and Home Energy Worksheet to share with their families. Students who returned their
worksheet received an LED nightlight featuring the Rocky Mountain Power logo as a reward.
Educators were also given helpful energy educational materials. Each teacher participant was provided a custom
Be wattsmart, Begin at home folder. The folder contained a custom Teacher Guide with additional information
and activities to supplement and continue energy education in the classroom. Also, in the folder were two NEF
instructional posters, Energy Efficiency and Electricity Serves Our Community.
A program Implementation Steps Flier assisted teachers in carrying out the program. It also gave simple steps for
successfully returning Home Energy Worksheets and the sponsor Thanks a “Watt” Card in the postage paid envelope
provided in Teacher Materials Folder. A Rewarding Results Flier gave information concerning the mini-grant that
teacher participants would receive for returning their student surveys. Educators received a $50 gift card for an
80% return, or a $25 gift card for a 50 – 79% return by the December 5, 2018 deadline.

The importance of energy:Energy is the ability to do work or produce change. Virtually everything we do or use at work and home uses energy.

Where does energy come from?Our energy comes from natural resources. There are two general categories of natural resources – nonrenewable and renewable. A nonrenewable resource is not capable of being renewed, replaced or takes a very long time to replace. A renewable resource is capable of being renewed or replaced.
Primary natural resources are used to convert energy into electricity. They can be either nonrenewable or renewable.
Nonrenewable examples are: Renewable examples are:
Coal is the most abundant nonrenewable
energy source in the world. There is an
estimated 129 year supply remaining.
Oil can be both refined and unrefined.
Refined oil is transformed into petroleum
products and unrefined oil remains as
crude oil.
Natural Gas is usually captured
alongside oil deposits and is a major
source for electrical generation.
Uranium is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants. Nuclear energy is the energy inside the nucleus (core) of the atom of uranium.
Solar is energy from the sun.
Wind is energy from the wind captured
by a group of wind turbines (generators).
Geothermal is energy derived from
the heat of the earth.
Hydropower is energy from water
that generates electricity.
Secondary energy resources are created by using nonrenewable and renewable resources of energy.
Electricity is the most abundant secondary energy resource used. It is the flow of electrical power or charge. It
occurs in nature as lightning and static electricity. A generator uses energy resources to create mechanical energy
that is then converted into electrical energy.

Use of electricity in the home

For more than 100 years, electricity has made our homes more comfortable and industries more productive. Today electricity is powering a world of electronics.
How is electricity generated? It begins with a fuel that heats water and turns it to steam. The steam drives the turbine that turns the generator motor to produce electricity.
How is electricity transmitted? Once the electricity is produced, the current flows from the generator to the power plant transformer where the voltage is increased to boost the flow of the electric current through the transmission lines. The transmission lines transport the electricity to Rocky Mountain Power’s substations where the voltage is decreased. Power lines then carry the electricity from the substations to be used in our homes and businesses.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is using less energy to accomplish the same
amount of work – we call it being wattsmart. There are many
technologies we can use today that decrease the amount of
energy needed to do work. Good examples are ENERGY
STAR® products and LED lighting.
You can save even more money if you start thinking about using
energy wisely. Try turning off the lights when you leave the
room, take shorter showers or turn off your electronics when
you are not using them.

I have the power to discuss energy use to help save money.
Home heating and cooling
•Install a programmable
thermostat or smart thermostat.
Set your thermostat to 78ºF or
higher in the summer and 68ºF
or lower in the winter.
•Make sure your house is properly insulated. If you have less than 6 inches of insulation in your attic, you would benefit from adding more.
•You can save 10 percent or more on your energy bill
by reducing the air leaks in your home with caulking and
weather stripping.
•To help your furnace run more efficiently and cost-effectively, keep your air filters clean.
•For windows with direct sunlight, close
your blinds in the summer to keep the
heat out. Open them on winter days to
let the warmth in.
•Small room fans are an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioning.
•For information about energy-saving programs and cash
incentives, visit wattsmart.com.
Water and water heating
• Check your faucets for leaks that can cost
you hundreds of dollars each year.
• Install a water-efficient showerhead and save as much as $145 a year.
• Set the water heater at 120ºF.
• Install faucet aerators to decrease water use.
Lighting
•Let the sun shine in. Use daylight and turn off lights.
•Replace your incandescent bulbs with LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and save $5 to $8 per year per bulb. These bulbs use up to 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and last much longer.
•Use lighting controls such as motion detectors and timers.
•Turn off lights when you leave the room.
•Always use the lowest wattage bulb that still gives you the light you need.
•Keep your light bulbs clean. It increases the amount of light from the bulb and reduces the need to turn on more lights.
Electronics
•Turn off your computer and game consoles when not in use.
•Home electronics are made to turn on and off many times. Always turn them off to save energy.
•Electronics with the ENERGY STAR® label use as much as 60 percent less energy while providing the same performance.
•Beware of phantom loads which continue to draw electricity when they are plugged in but not in use. Examples are telephone chargers, electronic games and television sets.
•Use advanced power strips for household electronics. One button will turn off multiple appliances, which conserves electricity.
Saving energy happens in two ways. First, you can use less energy through wise behaviors that conserve energy. Second, you can install energy-efficient products, appliances and devices that use less energy to accomplish the same task. Let’s talk about the following areas of your home that have the largest potential to save energy.
4 5 5

Refrigerators and freezers
•When looking to replace your old refrigerator, do so with an ENERGY STAR® model, which requires approximately 40 percent less energy than conventional models and provides energy savings without sacrificing the features you want.
•Clean door gaskets with warm water or a detergent that
leaves no residue.
Dishwashers
•Only run dishwashers when full and use the “air dry” or “no heat dry” settings.
•ENERGY STAR® dishwashers use at least 41 percent less
energy than the federal minimum standard for energy
consumption.
Laundry
•Buy a moisture-sensitive dryer that automatically shuts off when clothes are dry.
•Use a drying rack whenever possible.
Cooking
•Use a microwave oven, toaster oven or slow cooker instead of a conventional oven.
•Use the right-sized pan for the stove top element.
•Cover pans with lids to keep heat from escaping.
Reduce
•Use less.
•Purchase products with little packaging.
Reuse
•Use something again.
•Reuse a box or a grocery bag.
Recycle
•Make something into another new item.
•Participate in the recycling programs in your community.
Parents, be wattsmart and watch the energy savings add up.
An individual with a combined electric and heating fuel bill of $2,500 per year could save 20 percent or $42/month by using these and other energy efficiency tips. That is like getting a pay raise without having to work harder or longer.

Introduction
Statistical research confirms world consumption of natural resources is increasing every year. Continued population growth ensures that demand for renewable and nonrenewable energy resources necessary to maintain our way of life will continue to increase . This creates problems for future availability of nonrenewable resources . Nonrenewable resources are just that, resources that cannot be renewed . For example, a resource used at our present rate might last about 100 years . Factor in population growth and increasing reliance on technology, and that resource may last only 79 years .
In this activity, two different types of candy (or other objects students would like) will represent resources . One type of candy will represent renewable resources and the other will represent nonrenewable resources .
Procedure
1 . Before class, count out enough candy so there is one piece per student (some of each type of candy – less of one so it will run out faster) . Put it in the sack or bag . Save the remaining candy . If you have a very polite class, count enough candy for half of the class . You want the contents
to run out before everyone gets candy!
2 . Tell students you will be demonstrating how resources get used over time by playing “Pass the Sack .” Show students
the sack and explain that when they get the sack, they
should take some energy and pass the sack to the person next to them .
3 . Before passing the sack to the first student, review renewable and nonrenewable resources . Have students
give examples of each as you hand the sack to a student .
4 . While this discussion is taking place, allow students to pass
around the bag of candy without any rules about how many pieces students may take . Occasionally, add four or
five pieces of one type of candy you are using, this will be your renewable resource . The sack will be empty before it
reaches all the students .
5 . Ask students who did not get any candy how they might obtain energy from other students . What if each student
represented a country? How do countries obtain resources, trade, barter (trade for goods), buy (trade for currency),
invade and take or go to war? What effect did the availability of candy have on relationships between students? What
effect might the availability of natural resources have on
the relationship among nations, provinces, states, people, standards of living and quality of life?

6 . Explain how our resources are like the candy . Which type was the nonrenewable? How could you tell? (No more
was added to the bag once it was being passed around .) Which type was renewable? How could you tell? (It was
added periodically to renew it .)
7 . Point out that resources have limits just like the candy . Emphasize that many resources, such as fossil fuels, are
nonrenewable and are being consumed faster than they are being replaced by nature . Discuss the fact that it would
be more difficult for students to eat the candy if they had
to search the room to find it instead of just taking it from the sack . Energy companies must seek resource deposits
and obtain rights to drill or mine for them; they do not just magically appear .
8 . Point out that renewable resources can also have
limitations . They may not generate electricity as reliably as nonrenewable sources and the amount of energy
produced may vary with weather and location .
9 . Plan how to pass out the remaining candy .
Discussion
• Should rules be established to determine how the candy is distributed? • Do oil, coal and natural gas companies have rules/regulations that must be followed to find resources?• Should there be rules and regulations on how much oil, coal and natural gas people use? • How do the class’ social decisions influence the availability of candy?
To Know and Do More
Go to eia.gov/kids to access games, tips and facts for kids to learn about renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Discuss whether or not it is possible to run out of a renewable resource . Wood and fresh water are examples of renewable resources that can be used faster than nature can replace them .

Introduction
Fossil fuels are extremely useful energy sources . Our society has adopted them because they can be readily available and economical . In the early part of the 20th century, a fledgling solar industry took root but was ultimately displaced by less expensive energy sources such as fossil fuels. Today some fossil fuels are harder to find and increasingly more costly. The sun, on the other hand, is just as plentiful as it was 100 years ago . It is a renewable resource that could become our most widely used source of energy .
The following activity is a simulation game in which students learn the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources . The game reflects society’s use and exhaustion of nonrenewable fuels and the eventual transition to renewable technologies.
Procedure
1 . Divide the class into five equal groups . Each group will be
a company going after a particular resource (coal, uranium,
natural gas, oil or the sun) . The paper and popcorn represent reserves of the various energy resources . Pass
out copies of the student sheet “Data Table and Graph” to each group or have students create their own data tables
on paper .
2 . Have students gather in a large circle . Scatter the papers
plus a handful of “solar” popcorn so they are well spread
out in the center of the circle . You can do this on a sheet for easier clean up . Explain that this exercise demonstrates
how the availability of resources changes over time . You may want to designate certain places as protected
areas, where the resources are off limits to protect the
environment .

3 . Tell students you will do several trials and look to see how the types of resources that are available change after
each trial . Tell each group that they will have 30 seconds to pick up as many papers or popcorn as they can of their
assigned type . Start timing .
After 30 seconds have the groups stop and count the items they have gathered . Have each group announce their
results to the class and record every count in their data table . If some groups have collected all of their available
resource, point out that the resource is now depleted and
they are unemployed .
4 . Scatter another handful of “solar energy,” helping students realize that since the sun is a renewable resource, there is
the same amount of it each time you look, whereas the nonrenewable fuels are being depleted . Repeat the search
period so students can get more papers or popcorn .
5 . Stop after 30 seconds and have the group count and record the papers and popcorn collected again . Note that
there are fewer nonrenewable fuels found in the second round . Students have to look harder to find what is left . The
solar count is slowly catching up with the nonrenewable
fuels . Repeat with additional trials as needed .
6 . Have groups create a bar chart or, for more advanced
students, a multi-line graph of the number of papers and popcorn collected each trial .
Discussion
• Why does the solar line differ from the others? Why does it go up rather than down?• How do improvements in technology affect the extraction of resources from the earth? • How do improvements in technology affect our usage of renewable resources?• In the real world, can we extract ALL of a resource? Why do some deposits go unused?
To Know and Do More
Add wind and water to the activity . Lead a discussion to be sure the students understand why you continued adding more sun, wind and/or water after each trial, but did not add more of the other papers . As a class, come up with a general outline of how to more effectively manage the resources that are available to us .

Introduction
Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist, made the first battery in 1795. Volta placed two different metal electrodes in an electrolyte solution (a chemical mixture which will conduct an electrical current) . The chemical reaction caused an electromotive force . A common misconception is that batteries store electrical energy . This is not really true; batteries convert chemical energy to electrical energy . They store chemical energy that can be released during a chemical reaction . By using metals or carbons that have different chemical properties and an acid or base that will allow the movement of electrical charges, an electric current can be produced .
Procedure
1 . Demonstrate a battery-operated toy with and without the battery . Explain that energy is the ability to do work or cause change, such as moving the toy or powering a light bulb .
2 . Discuss:
• How do we know the energy from the battery is working?• What kind of energy is the toy giving off? (possible answers include kinetic energy, mechanical, light, sound and heat)• The battery converts chemicals (chemical energy) to electricity (electrical energy) and the toy converts electricity to many possible forms of energy, including mechanical energy, heat (thermal energy), light and sound .
3 . Have students use the materials provided to experiment
with simple circuits by following the guided inquiry activity
on the student sheet . As the students do the activity, have them note the light and heat energy given off .
4 . Give students examples of types of potential and kinetic
energy .
Kinetic energy – a person riding a bike, a fire in a wood-burning stove, a person running
Potential energy – a lump of coal, a sandwich, a rock at the top of a hill

Student Sheet: A Bright Idea!
Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist, made the first battery in 1795. Volta put sheets of two different types of metal in a jar of water with a chemical that could carry electricity (an electrolyte) . The chemical reaction between the electrolyte and the metal plates caused electrons to move when the plates were connected with a wire. The flow of electrons moving in a wire is called an electric current, or electricity .
Using one battery and one light, make the bulb light up. Congratulations, you have made an electrical circuit!
1 . What did you have to do to get the light to come on and complete the circuit? How was it touching the battery?
2 . What do you have to do to make the light bulb turn off and then back on?
3 . What do you think the electrical terms “open circuit” and “closed circuit” mean?
4 . How do you think a light switch works?
5 . What type and form of energy is in the battery?
6 . The battery’s energy was transformed into what other forms of energy?
Using one battery, try to light up two lights.

2 . Are the lights the same brightness as when you lit only one or are they dimmer?
3 . A series circuit has only one path that electrons can follow as they are pushed from one side of the battery to the other . A parallel circuit has more than one path and the electrons can go more than one way to get from one end of the battery to the other . Which type of circuit did you make and draw?
4 . Experiment with multiple batteries connected together, placing the positive end of one battery touching the negative end of another battery . What effect does the number of batteries have on the brightness of the bulbs?
5 . If you leave the battery connected to a bulb long enough, you will feel the wire and the ends of the battery getting warm . What do you think is causing this?
6 . Can that heat be useful? Can it be dangerous? Give an example to prove your point .
7 . Wash your hands when you are finished .

Introduction
Materials that allow a flow of electric current to pass through them more easily are called conductors. Aluminum, silver, copper and water are examples. Insulators block the flow of electricity. Nonmetallic materials, such as rubber, plastic, wood, cloth and dry air are insulators. An electrical circuit is a path of conductors through which electric current flows. Energy can be transferred from place to place by electric current .
In this activity, students will use salt dough, which is a conductor, to design circuits which will transfer electrical energy . If they are successful, the electricity will be transformed to light and heat energy in a miniature LED bulb .
Procedure
1 . Introduce students to their materials:
a . Attach the battery to a battery clip with red and black cables . The red lead is the positive terminal and the black lead is the negative terminal .b . Examine the LED bulb . Two wires (or legs) extend from the bulb . The longer wire is the positive side of the LED and the short wire is the negative side . The LED should only be connected to dough, never directly to the battery terminals, which will cause the bulb to burn out .
2 . Tell students that electricity can only go through the circuits they will create in one way . The positive terminal
of the battery (red lead on battery clip) must be nearest a
positive (long) leg of the LED . A battery pushes electricity
around the circuit through the positive leg and out the
negative (short) leg, then repeating through the next
positive leg (if there is more than one LED in the circuit) .
3 . Explain that electricity will take the path of least resistance . It is easier for electricity to travel through the dough than
through the LED, so if two pieces of dough are touching,
the LED will not light .
4 . Challenge students to design a simple circuit like the ones
on the next page .

Discussion
• How does your dough circuit light the LED compared to the circuits at your home?
• In a series circuit with multiple LEDs, what happens to the brightness of the LEDs that are further from the battery? Why?
To Know and Do More
When a light switch is off, the electrical pathway to a bulb is not complete and electricity cannot flow to light that bulb. When you flip the switch on, you close the circuit and the light turns on. If light is not needed, it is important not to waste the natural resources used to generate the electrical power that is being transformed to light . Have students create characters without noses to put over light switches at school or home . The art should help remind them to turn lights off!

How does his quote apply to you?
To Know and Do More
A light bulb package has a lighting facts label that contains different numbers . • The light output in lumens . • The power used by the bulbs, measured in Watts . The higher the wattage, the more energy the bulb uses . • A measure of how warm or cool the light from that bulbs looks, measured in Kelvin (K) . Low numbers are warmer light hues (orange or yellow) . High numbers are cooler hues (blue or green) .
When buying new bulbs, we should shop by lumens, not wattage. We save energy by finding bulbs with the lumens we need, then choosing the lowest wattage possible for that number of lumens .

Introduction
How do we find natural gas? Try this activity to get an idea of the type of rock formations and characteristics geologists look for when locating natural gas deposits .
As natural gas molecules form, they migrate from shale “source rock” into more porous areas such as sandstone . Porous or permeable layers are much like a sponge with little pockets throughout the rock . The natural gas continues to move to either the earth’s surface (where it escapes into the atmosphere) or it is trapped when nonporous or impermeable rock layers block its path .
Procedure
Using bread, almond butter and honey, create some edible models of rock layers .
1 . Spread thick layers of almond butter then honey on a slice
of bread . Top it with another slice of bread .
2 . Make a second sandwich just like the first, or gently cut the sandwich in half .
3 . Now put one sandwich (or one half) with the almond butter layer above the honey and the other sandwich (or
other half) with the honey on top of the almond butter .
4 . Next spread a thick layer of only honey on a slice of bread,
adding another slice on top .
5 . Cover your sandwiches with wax paper or plastic wrap and gently press down on them for about three seconds,
representing millions of years of pressure .
6 . Cut the sandwiches in half and observe what has
happened .

Discussion
1 . What do you think the honey represents?
2 . Which layer do you think represents porous rock?
3 . Which layer is the nonporous rock?
4 . Did the honey seep into both slices of bread? Why or why not?
5 . What do you predict would happen with a sandwich made with only almond butter?
6 . How might the ingredients you used affect your results?
7 . Draw the layers of your sandwich and use colored pencils or crayons to distinguish the different layers and write labels for each layer that includes: impermeable, permeable, natural gas, nonporous rock and porous rock .
Answers
The honey represented natural gas or a fossil fuel . The bread was the porous rock where the honey or natural gas gets into the little pockets or air spaces . Almond butter acted like a nonporous rock layer blocking the honey from seeping into the slice of bread above the almond butter . The results may be different depending on your ingredients: denser bread – less seepage, creamier almond butter may be less impermeable or thicker honey may not fill the little pockets as easily.
To Know and Do More
Assign students to further investigate how natural gas is trapped in rock formations . Have them draw pictures of a formation and the trapping of oil and natural gas in the earth .
Visit a natural history museum and look for prehistoric life forms and rock formations .

Introduction
We use natural resources every day . Sometimes we use them just as they come from earth or the atmosphere . At other times we alter their makeup to fit our needs. For instance, we use the sun just as it is to dry clothes, but we use photovoltaic cells to capture the sun’s energy and convert it to electricity, a secondary energy source . We use coal just as it comes to us from the earth to make electricity, or we use coal to provide coke for steel manufacturing . Many natural resources we use every day are nonrenewable, once we use them they are gone; others are renewable, they can be replaced through natural and/or human processes .
It is responsible to use all resources efficiently and wisely. When we do, we reduce energy use, save money and preserve the environment . Making wise decisions today will have a positive impact on our future .
Imagine the difference we could make if we all used energy more efficiently. We would conserve natural resources for the future and enjoy better air quality and a better life . Each one of us can truly make a difference . All it takes is knowledge and action .
Procedure
Using energy efficiently and conserving our natural resources are responsible and easy actions that students can take today to show they respect the environment and have a desire to protect and preserve it .
1 . Pass out “How Do You Rate?” Discuss the actions that may apply to the school (e .g ., windows and doors have weather stripping; drapes or blinds are open on cold, sunny days and closed on hot days; thermostats are adjusted at night; lawns are only watered early or late in the day) . As you discuss each action, write a T for true or F for false on the board to see how the school rates . What can the students do to improve energy use at school?
2 . Decide on several actions the students can take at school to help save energy and protect the environment . One action might be to use both sides of their paper and then
recycle . If a room is empty during lunch or at other times, they can be sure lights are turned off and computers are on sleep mode .
3 . Have the students take the survey home and complete it with their parent’s or guardian’s help . Explain to students that it is important to record their true energy use and not mark what they think they should be doing .
4 . How did the students’ homes rate? Discuss the results of the home survey . Help students to become enthusiastic about conserving natural resources and using energy more efficiently .

5 . Prepare a graph to show the results of the energy efficiency survey . Which efficiency tips are already practiced by most students? Which were least used? Graph the number of students marking “yes” for each item .
6 . Find the mean, median, mode and range of the data on the home survey .
Discussion
Discuss the benefits of energy conservation. How will our energy use impact our future? Compare the benefits and possible inconveniences and their correlation to our quality of life .
To Know and Do More
Why do you think people do not practice all of the energy efficiency tips on the survey? Are there false assumptions that affect people’s behavior? (Believing that turning things on and off uses more energy than leaving them on, for example .)
Discuss how people in other geographic areas and cultures would rate . Does everyone have a car, dishwasher or an air conditioner?
Career Awareness Activity
Have the students think of some careers that could have a big impact on your community’s energy usage . Some areas to consider: teachers — impact energy usage through education and by example; utility workers — through education and incentives; government regulators — through restrictions and rewards, such as financial benefits or tax breaks.

In my opinion, the thing the students liked best about the materials/program was:
Making the circuit
The students love the game LINGO. It keeps them engaged, however I did notice they were disappointed that they didn't get anything for winning.
The game "LINGO" and the night-light incentiveThey loved seeing the human chain conduct electricity.Lingo, The videos, and when they asked for volunteers.The students loved the hands on activities.They loved the holding hands to light the light and sound.Videos and demonstrationsAll the interactive activities.
The interactive parts where they got to participateI really thought the students were engaged with all that was presented! The presenters interacted well with them.The quick pace and interaction
The whole program was excellent.learning about ways that they can conserve at home
Hands on activitiesHands on activities
The lingo game helped them stay focusedThe children loved the completed circuit activity.
I idea they would get a nightlight.Their nightlights
The video and lingoThere are hands on activities and they are constantly switching to different activities.
56 ©2019 National Energy Foundation
In the future, one thing I would change would be:
A smaller group, 1-2 classes at a time so everyone can participate to increase engagement.
I wish it would have been more hands on for every student.I wouldn’t change anything.It was a little long for students to sit, if there was a movement type activity. The students enjoyed all aspects, it was just a bit long.Maybe spend more time on the actual vocabulary. My students were impressed but didn't know what 'conduction' or some other key words meant that the presenters often used.
More on their level and shorter.more timeNot a thing!Nothing, I thought it was greatNothing, really.
Prizes for the Lingo gameThe videos, the students did not like them and we as teachers thought they were weird and the person tried too hard to be funny.The videos. The videos were new this year and although the information was valuable I felt that they were very childish and confusing with the cow that kept being brought up since it has nothing to do with energy.This is on our end....we have the presenters present to the whole 4th grade (256 students)....next time we will have the presentation in the gym so there is more room and air flow....:)

Idaho 2018 Evaluations
Program Evaluation Recommendations and Company Responses
Evaluation reports provide detailed information on the process and impact evaluations performed
on each program, summarizing the methodology used to calculate the evaluated savings as well as
providing recommendations for the Company to consider for improving the process or impact of
the program, as well as customer satisfaction.
Outlined below is a list of the programs, the years that were evaluated and published during 2018,
and the third party evaluator who completed the evaluation. Program evaluations are available for
review at www.pacificorp.com/es/dsm/idaho.html
Program Years Evaluated Evaluator
wattsmart Business 2016 – 2017 Cadmus
The third party evaluator’s recommendations and Company’s responses are provided in the tables
below.
Table 1
wattsmart Business Evaluation Recommendations
Evaluation Recommendations Rocky Mountain Power Response
Reducing the cool roof deemed claimed savings
amount to 0.13 kWh per year, per square foot.
The Program revised cool roof measure savings on
January 23, 2018 and reduced the offered incentive
from $0.10/SF to $0.05/SF. The program is now
reporting 0.11 kWh per square foot per year for retrofit
applications based on outputs from the Oakridge
National Laboratory Cool Roof Calculator.
Add timing for emails, bill inserts, and direct mail to
the media flowchart or develop a calendar showing
timing of both media and other outreach combined.
Additional recommendations of incorporating email
with marketing campaigns and updating all materials to
the latest branding scheme had already been
implemented by the time of this report.
A calendar of marketing and outreach has been
developed for 2019. For cost-effectiveness make
branding updates with program changes, whenever
possible.
Include SBDI measure data for each SBDI installation,
in the program database, or at a
minimum, in the data provided to the evaluation team.
This data is included in the company's database of
record, but was not provided to evaluators. It will be
provided to evaluators in future evaluation cycles.
Evaluation Recommendations Rocky Mountain Power Response
If additional program growth is desired, consider
increasing the frequency of brand marketing of the
program, and business-to-business outreach by all
program administrators. Target the two largest
nonparticipant business sectors
(Dairy/Agricultural and Real Estate/Property
Management) with case studies highlighting actual
energy cost savings achieved by other small businesses
in those sectors. Continue growing the program
approved trade ally network, to extend RMP’s outreach
to customers, beyond its own marketing efforts.
The Company will evaluate this recommendation
should additional program growth be desired.
