Customer Benefits
Shift & Save allows SCE customers to save money by permanently reducing peak air conditioning load use. Program participants on SCE's Time-of-Use rates receive additional benefits and ongoing savings on their energy bill.
Key TES Application Factors:
- Customer’s max cooling load is much greater than the average load
- Full summer operations
- Differentiation between the peak/off-peak tariff
- For new construction lower temperature medium that can reduce first cost plant capacities
- For retrofit– lower chilled water temperatures creates opportunity to increase system capacity cost effectively
- An existing cooling system is being expanded or an existing tank is available to put back in service
- Electrical capacity constraints
- Backup cooling capacity is desirable
- Customer wants lower emissions and reduced environmental impact
In addition, Shift & Save:
- Customer Bill Savings
- Incentives - assists customer payback & helps project feasibility
- Environmental Benefits
- LEED® points
- Reduce NET emissions footprint of a building
- Better utilization of renewable – wind energy
- Title-24 Energy Standards: cooling budget reduction
- Can improve builder’s ROI
- AC (thermal load) biggest contributor of peak in CA
- Lasts for short period versus cost of new power plants
- Environment consequences of operating peaker plants
- Constraints on transmission and distribution
- Better asset utilization with peak strategies in place
