Demand Savings definition

Demand Savings means a quantifiable reduction in demand.

Demand Savings means the average load reduction in electricity demand between the base case and the energy efficient case occurring between 1pm to 7pm on business days, June 1 through August 31. For Measures that are weather dependent, Demand Savings shall be considered as occurring at peak design load conditions.

Demand Savings means a quantifiable reduction in the rate at which energy is delivered to or by a system at a given instance, or average over a designated period, usually expressed in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW). Demand Savings will be determined by comparing the efficiency of the installed qualifying energy efficiency equipment to that of new equipment that meets all applicable minimum efficiency standards⎯not to that of the customer’s existing equipment. In cases where no standard currently exists, existing equipment efficiencies will be used. Measure standard efficiencies are identified in the Commercial Standard Offer Program Manual and the equipment survey forms provided by SWEPCO and that can be uploaded into the project sponsor’s project.

More Definitions of Demand Savings

Demand Savings means the estimated, determined or actual (as the context may require) reduction in electricity demand, expressed in kW, obtained as a result of one or more Custom Measures and as determined pursuant to the Energy and Demand Savings Summary.

Demand Savings means the maximum one-hour average demand reduction, expressed in kW, that results only from those Measures included in the Project Sponsor’s approved Final Application and that occurs when the Measures are operating at peak conditions during the summer period. The summer period is defined as Monday through Friday, between the hours of 1 PM and 7 PM from May 1 through September 30, excluding holidays. Any demand savings that may result from Measures installed or activities completed by the Project Sponsor that are not included in the approved Final Application will be excluded from this definition and are not eligible for payment under the Commercial Standard Offer Program. Demand savings will be calculated based upon savings over and above standard efficiency equipment and not in relationship to existing equipment, except in cases where no standards exist. Equipment standard efficiencies are ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1989, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1999, ASHRAE Standard 90.1m-1995, and the Xcel Energy Standard Lighting Fixture Wattage Table.

Demand Savings means the difference between Baseline Demand Usage and Interruption Demand Usage. For the purpose of this Agreement, the use of the term Demand Savings may refer to Unscheduled Interruption Demand Savings and/or Scheduled Interruption Demand Savings, as appropriate.

Demand Savings means a quantifiable reduction in the rate at which energy is delivered to or by a system at a given instance, or average over a designated period, expressed in kilowatts (kW). Demand Savings will be determined by comparing the efficiency of the installed qualifying energy efficiency equipment to that of new equipment that meets all applicable minimum efficiency standards⎯not to that of the customer’s existing equipment. In cases where no standard currently exists, existing equipment efficiencies will be used. Measure standard efficiencies are identified in the most current version of the TRM and the equipment survey forms provided by AEP Texas and that can be uploaded into the Project Sponsor’s Project Application.

Demand Savings means a quantifiable reduction in the rate at which energy is delivered to or by a system at a given instance, or average over a designated period, usually expressed in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW).

Demand Savings means demand savings attributable to conservation and demand management activities.

Demand Savings means the change in the rate of energy usage measured over a period, which period shall be specified.
