Total time-varying value includes all energy values and capacity, transmission, distribution and spinning reserves. Ratios are calculated by dividing total time-varying values by energy-only values. 15

Why Accurate Load Shapes Matter Example: When DSMore and Metered Commercial End-Use Load Shapes Agree, Both Produce Equivalent Values for Annual Energy Savings 100% Levelized Value of Annual Energy Savings Using Metered Load Shape = $62/MWh 90% 80% Percent of Peak Hour Load 70% 60% 50% Levelized Value of Annual Energy Savings Using DSMore Load Shape = $61/MWh 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 DSMore Metered-PNW 18
Why Accurate Load Shapes Matter When DSMore and Metered Load Shapes Residential Lighting Disagree, They Produce Significantly Different Values for Annual Energy Savings 100% DSMore Load Shape Levelized Value of Annual Energy Savings = $75/MWh 90% Percent of Annual Peak Hourly Load 80% Annual Average Daily Load Shape 70% 60% 50% 40% Metered Load Shape Levelized Value of Annual Energy Savings = $56/MWh 30% 20% 10% 0% 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Metered DSMore 19

Observations The ratio of the total utility system value of energy savings to their energy value in Michigan align reasonably well with other states with similar system load shapes However, the lack of publicly available and statistically representative metered end use load shape data for Michigan limits the ability to confidently characterize the time differentiated value of energy efficiency savings, especially for weather sensitive measures such as central air conditioning 23
Observations Load Shape data embedded in DSMore may not accurately represent the hourly distribution of energy use for some end uses Coincidence Factors drawn from the Michigan Energy Measures Data Base (MEMD) differ from those derived from metered end use data for three of the five end uses considered in this study This does not necessarily mean that they are inaccurate Load Shape data derived from simulations, while reflecting weather sensitivity, may not accurately represent the hourly distribution of energy use unless they can reflect diversity of occupant behavior 24
