Improvement Program
for Nortt►ern States ORDER APPROVING NORTHERN STATES POWER COHPADTY'S
Power Company (NATURAL GAS UTILITY) CONSERVATIODI II�ROVEMENT
(Natural Gas Utility) PROGRAH AIdD REQUIRING IDIFORMATIODiAL FILIDiGS
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On Hay 1, 1986� Northern States Power Company (NSP) filed its conservation
improvement program (CIP) with tt►e Hinnesota Public Utilities Commission
(Commission) for its natural gas utility pursuant to Hinnesota Rules, part
7840.0500. Notice of the filing was served on persons who participated in
NSP's last general rate case or wt�o participated in its CIP case or utility
renewable resource pilot project (URRPP) case during the preceding two years.
Comments on NSP•s CIP were filed With the Commission on Hay 29, 1986. by the
Hinnesota Department of Public Service (DPS); on Ziay 30, 1986, by the
iiinnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED) , Ramsey Action
Program Inc. (RAP) , and the St. Paul Neighborhood Energy Consortium (NEC); and
on June 2, 1986, by the City of St. Paul City Council Conservation Improvement
Program Task Force (St. Paul).
Proposals for alternative CIP projects were submitted to the Commission on
tiay 28, 1986� by the NEC; on Hay 30, 1986, by the 1�in City Neighborhood
Housing Service (NHS); and on June 2. 1986, by St. Paul.
Responses to the comments on alternative project proposals Were filed on
June 13, 1986, by the DEED and on June 16. 1986� by St. Paul and NSP.
Additional comments were submitted by St. Paul on July 14, 1986. and July 18,
1986.
The above comments� alternative proposals. and responses were submitted in
accordance with Kinnesota 8ules, part 7840.0900.
On July 2�. 1986� the Commission met to consider �TSP•s prnposed CIP,
alternative pro�ects proposals, and comments. At this meeting. interested
persons were given an opportunity to respond to Commission questions.
�iSP•s gas utility proposed CIP consists of the following four projects: (1)
the Tool Lending Library project, (2) the RAP project, (3) the D1EC pro3ect,
i and (4) the Snergy Sesource Center pro3ect. '
Zn its tiay 1 filing, �iSP also proposed a project Mith the St. Paul Urbaa
League. This pro�ect proposal was later withdrawn by �TSP. .
- 1 -
. �-`' �7 �d .
NSP did not comment on the merits of this project.
B CitY of St Paul Proiect -- Rental Ener�y Conservation Standards _
Enforcement. The City proposed a project, under which it would enforce state
minimum standards for energy conservation in rental housing. NSP CIP funds
are requested for energy audits which would provide technical information
needed by city inspectors to enforce the state rental standards. Suct► local
enforcement is permitted by state law and is necessary because the DEED is no
longer able to enforce the state rental standards as a result of funding and
staff cuts.
St. Paul stated that 44 percent of St. Paul•s housing units are rental housing
and a disproportionate number of tenants are low-income people. The City
proposed to enforce the state standards in response to complaints. When a
complaint is received, the appropriate enforcement officer would have an
energy audit performed on the building. The sudit results would show the
building's compliance or non-compliance with each standard. The enforcement
officer would then issue orders for the building to be brought into
compliance. The City is requesting a contribution from NSP of �20,200. The
City anticipates that 50 buildings would be retrofitted as a result of this
project, saving an estim.ated s20,500 in energy costs per year.
The audits proposed for this pro3ect would be similar to the present IiECS
audits.
The City anticipates receiving 100 complaints within the first year. The City
estimates that the auditing cost of small buildings (1-4 units) is �100 and of
Iarger buildings (5 or more units) is ;400 dollars. The proposed budget is as
follows:
66 audits @ s100 s 6.600
34 audits @ sa00 13.600
TOTAL s20.200
These audit cost figures include administrative costs.
The City•s estimates indicated that the project would be cost effective to
participants and cost effective to the utility. The City estimated that 75
percent of the households benefiting would be low-income households.
The City expects to receive a grant of Z29.920 from the St. Paul Foundation to
pay for the costs of an additional housing inspector and associated
administrative costs. An additional inspector is needed for this program to �
verify the complaints that the City receives under this project. If the
inspector finds that the complaint is valid� the energy auditor would be
contacted and an sudit arranged for the building.
The DEED strongly endorsed St. Paul•s project because rental housing is
predominantly occupied by loW- and moderate-income households and owners of
rental housing t►ave the least incentive to make conservation investments. The
DEED stated that tt�e project takes advantage of the existing RCS program. It
stated that �TSP is already required under federal and state laws governing SCS
to determine �lhether rental units comply with state standards. Thus, in tihe '
i 1-4 unit sized buildings there is no substantive increase in responsibility
for the utility.

. (� x7 ��

, . . .
In response to the Court•s remand� the Commission has begun rulemaking
proceedings to adopt interpretive rules for conservation improvement programs,
including the definition of •'significant investment." See MPUC Docket DIo.
G,E-999/R-85-8a7. However, the Commission does not understand the Ccurt•s
decision to prohibit it from considering applications by utilities for
approval of conservation programs under the criteria set forth by statute
while it is considering interpretive rules. To read the Court remand
otherwise would delay implementation of conservation programs that the
legislature has directed utilities to undertake. See Hinn. Stat. § 216B.241
(1984). In order to carry out the Legislature•s directives concerr►ing
conservation programs by utilities, the Commission will proceed under its
procedural rules currently in effect. It will apply the facts to the
statutory law in evaluating programs proposed by utilities until its
interpretive rules are adopted.
The Commission finds that the record in this proceeding is sufficiently
complete for the purpose of selecting appropriate and reasonable CIP
projects. Therefore, the Commission will deny the requests for variances to
Hinnesota Rules� part 7840.0900, by NSP and St. Paul.
The Commission concludes that the following are appropriate projects to be
included in the DiSP natural gas utility's 1986-87 CIP program:
l. the RAP pro3ect,
2. the NEC Energy Audit project,
3. the ERC project,
4. the Twin City NHS project, and
S. the St. Paul Rental Energy Conservation Standards Enforcement project.
The Commission finds that the RAP project, NEC project, and ERC projects are
previously approved projects that deliver needed conservation services to
NSP's residential customers. These projects have several special features
that make them attractive to the Commission. First, they employ an effective
combination of funds or other resources provided by the utility and various
public agencies or community groups. Second, they use an existing network for
the delivery of conservation services.
RAP combined its resources with those of the utility and successfully
identified low-income customers with the highest gas usage;'' this group has the
t�ighest potential for cost-effective energy conservation improvements but
lacks tt►e means to make the needed improvements.
NSP's evaluation of the RAP project indicated that tt►e Company provided
approximately s400,000 to RAP for loans/grants in the 15 months from
, January 1. 1985. to April 1, 1986� compared to the ;925,000 that was budgeted
for this project in the Commission•s January 11� 1985, CIP Order.
Nevertheless, the filing indicated that tt►e full �75,000 in administrative
costs was spent. The administrative costs represented 7.5 percent of the
total original project budget but exceeded 7.5 percent of actual pro3ect �
expenditures. Therefore, for 1986-87, the Commission will approve
administrative funding of approximately 7.S percent of the total proposed
project costs up to s37.500.
The Company will be required to investigate and evaluate a less expensive '
approach to home energy conservation -- the House Doctor approach as practiced
by Kinnegasco. If the results of its investigation and evaluation demonstcate
that the House Doctor appcoach would be a more cost effective altecnative to
- 10 -
�. . . . . . � �,-�-d
total home weatherization, NSP st►all implement the House Doctor system as a
modification to the RAP project with a budget in the range of �50,000 to
=100�000. If the project is modified. the total amount of the budget is not
to be increased. NSP will be required to. explain and justify its decision in
its Hay l. 1987, filing.
NSP's proposal to continue funding the NEC for energy audits and energy plans
will be approved because these are activities that the Commission has
previously approved and because they appear to be effective at delivering
needed energy conservation services. These activities make effective use of a
community organization that provides special consideration to low-income
customers. The Commission accepts the recommendation of NSP that funding of
outreach payments of �20 each and funding of energy conservation workshops and
seminars of �300 each be discontinued. It does not appear that the 2,400
outreach payments achieved their purpose; only 225 persons attended workshops
and a majority of the 1,980 audits performed by NEC resulted fcom references
by NSP. The workshops did not have sufficient attenSance to warrant
continuation. Therefore� the Commission will not approve the outreach project
or workshops. . �
The Commission will approve a new project proposed by St. Paul for Rental
Energy Conservation Standards Enforcement. This project appears promising for
several reasons. It will effectively combine resoucces of three
organizations; it will be operated by the City of St. Paul with funding from
the St. Paul Foundation and NSP. This project is targeted to renters, one of
, the groups that is singled out for special consideration under Hinn. Stat. S
216B.241 (1984). Also� St. Paul presented a feasible project proposal with
the potential to achieve significant energy savings with a modest investment
of NSP funds.
The Commission will approve the NHS project as a new pro3ect. The Commission
accepts this project Eor the same reasons the DEED and St. Paul recommended
its approval as discussed above. NSP will be required to fund this project
and to work out any necessary details with the NHS. DiSP will be required to
submit to the Commission within 30 days a report on the negotiations or the
final contract agreed to by NSP and the DitiS.
Each of tt►e projects approved herein shall be approved to operate until
September 30. 1987, to ensure project continuity durictg the Commission•s 1987
CIP deliberation. �
The Commission �rill not approve the Tool Lending Library project at this
time. There is no indication that this project will be cost effective. The
, pro�ect costs appear to be unreasonably high compared to the benefits to �TSP;
tihe project costs an average of =30 per weatherization tool loaned. •
The Commission finds that there may be a need for a pcoject to provide tools
for persons to install weatherization and insulation material but any such
project n�ust be demonstrated to be cost effective. The Commission is willing
to consider a less expensive Tool Lending project based on a point schedule as
discussed by DiSP if it can be shown to be cost effective.
The NEC proposed that the Commission require DTSP to pay tt►e �TTEC over ;1
� million per year to implement and operate five conservation projects. Thi� '
amount is grea*_er than the entire NSP proposed CIP program. For this reason,
the Couaaission finds �TEC•s request unreasonable. The Commission will .not
approve the five projects proposed by the �TEC for the reasons discussed below.
