WHF= Waste heat factor for energy to account for cooling savings from efficient lighting. For indoors, the value is 1.15 (calculated as 1 + 0.38/2.5). Based on 0.38 ASHRAE Lighting waste heat cooling factor for Pittsburgh and 2.5 C.O.P. typical cooling system efficiency. For outdoors, the value is one.

Statement of Chairperson Wendell F. Holland

Public Meeting September 29, 2005; SEP-2005-CEP-0002

Implementation of Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act of 2004; Doc. No. M-00051865

   By our action today, we reach a momentous milestone. We fulfill a major commitment in implementing the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act that was signed into law by Governor Rendell and took effect on February 28, 2005. We are approving standards to track and verify demand management, energy efficiency and loan management programs, and technologies. These decisions will ensure Pennsylvania's leadership in the nation for including demand management and energy efficiency as part of alternative energy standards.

   This action was achieved by a team effort which I believe is an excellent method of implementing complex legislation. Our process, by any standard, was open, fair and transparent. All interested stakeholders who sought to have input were given an opportunity to be heard. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Working Group that arrived at these standards. This working group was well-represented by members of the public and private sectors, and consisted of this Commonwealth's Department of Environment Protection, the electric distribution companies, the electric generation suppliers, industrial customers, the Office of Consumer Advocate, the Office of Small Business Advocate, and other stakeholders. These members of the working group have met regularly since March 2005.

   I am sure my colleagues join me in recognizing that the Commission's action today represents a critical step in establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for the successful implementation of the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act. Ultimately, I believe that this law will bring new choices and new energy sources to Pennsylvania consumers.
