Box 8900 Vancouver, Washington 98668 SUBJECT: 2019 Conservation Potential Assessment – Final Report Dear Mr. Blaufus: Please find attached the final report summarizing the 2019 Clark Public Utilities Conservation Potential Assessment (CPA). This report covers the 20‐year period from 2020 through 2039. The potential has decreased from the 2017 CPA, largely due to standards impacting many residential lighting measures and changes in the avoided cost assumptions. We would like to thank you and your staff for the excellent support in developing and providing the baseline data for this project.

  • Energy Efficiency Potential by End-Use

This report covers the time period from 2016 through 2035 (20 years). Significant changes have occurred since the last CPA due to updated measure and appliance standard information. The overall energy efficiency potential is significant, but due to changes in market conditions and measures since the Sixth Power Plan, it is somewhat lower than the previous assessment. We would like to acknowledge and thank you and your staff for the excellent support in developing and providing the baseline data for this project.
