§ 158-789. Demand-side program costs.

(a)

For each demand-side program design, detailed estimates of program costs shall be developed by end-use or program, as appropriate. In developing these estimates, the following components of cost shall be separately identified:

(1)

Expected demand-side resource expenditures by program participants, if any;

(2)

Expected demand-side resource expenditures by the utility, if any;

(3)

Utility administrative expenses for the program that add to the total cost of the demand-side resource.

(b)

The costs of utility educational and informational activities that are focused on demand-side programs, but that do not directly cause demand-side resource implementation, must be separately described and justified.
