The DSM Steering Committee reviews the DSM Potential Study performed by GDS

Associates for each EKPC IRP. That study identifies all potential cost-effective DSM programs.

John Farley, DSM consultant, also provides additional insight to DSM program cost-effectiveness

evaluations. The DSM Steering Committee, based on their field experience working the

membership, helps to identify the need for cost-effective programs. Although no formal process

exists to determine need for a new DSM programs, participation levels of existing programs are

reviewed to assist in determining the need to continue cost-effective programs. Both the DSM

Steering Committee and the owner-member CEOs expressed a desired to continue cost-effective

residential programs that assist their members having high bills due to energy-inefficient housing.
