1 MEMORANDUM TO: Low Income Consumer Advisory Task Force FROM: Liz Jambor, Customer Energy Solutions DATE: August 21, 2015 SUBJECT: Response to Lanetta Cooper’s Questions for August 7 Meeting During the August 7 Low Income Advisory Task Force (LICATF) meeting, Lanetta Cooper submitted questions for AE staff response. The questions and related responses follow. Please note that when mapping program data, premise addresses are used. Should a mailing address be captured that is outside of the AE service territory, it is not mapped. The majority of the responses are related to data provided to the Austin American Statesman in terms of program reach by zip code. Zip code data cannot be read in isolation because there are other factors to consider such as the overall population of the zip code, housing stock, and the percent of poverty per zip code. Statistically, many of the zip codes for population, percent poverty and rebates are within the norm. It is not a universality that “wealthier residents” get more in rebates than other customers. Additional factors, such as dwelling type, age of home and home ownership, play into the eventual participation in rebate programs. For example, a zip code dense with multifamily properties may “map” into a lower participation rate because the property with multiple apartment units is counted as one rebate (for a commercial customer) when the one rebate has actually served hundreds of residential customers. Overall, the programs are meeting the needs of our customers based on their ability and need to participate. 2 3 4 Reponses 1. The time periods varied by program but covered from program inception through 2014. Data was based on residential programs only. Please note that data provided on map may not be complete program data but only data that could be mapped accurately. 2. The map captured unaudited rebate data from program inceptions through 2014 and totaled $181,189,101. Please note that data provided on the map may not be complete program data but only data that could be mapped accurately and where financial records exist (for example, for the period 1982 – 1995, there is not separate accounting for low income weatherization, or other programs). 3. No non multifamily commercial rebates were included. 4. NA 5. See table of unaudited data below. Please note that data provided on the map may not be complete program data but only data that could be mapped accurately and where financial records exist.

There are no FY14 Green Building projects that receive rebates or incentives exclusively from Green Building. Any Green Building projects would have been accounted for in the Commercial rebates. While Green Buiding (AEGB) does provide performance modeling incentives to commercial properties that go through the program, AEGB projects do not entail rebate. The CBC includes staff time spent providing technical support on residential and commercial green building projects and is not tracked by zip code. 23.
