Pacific Gas and Electric Company Retail Plug-Load Portfolio (RPP) Trial

Project Number ET13PGE8052 Organization PG&E End-use Other Sector Residential Project Year(s) 2013 - 2015
Description
In an innovative attempt to address the growing issue of residential plug-load in the State of California, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) launched the Retail Plug-Load Portfolio (RPP) Trial in 2013 and 2014. The RPP Program uses a mid-stream design to influence retailers to demand, stock, and sell a greater proportion of energy efficient models of home appliances and consumer electronics in targeted product categories, which will ultimately result in residential customer energy and demand savings. Retailers are paid per-unit incentives for every program-qualified model that they sell during the program period. Program-qualified models are typically models that meet or exceed the minimum ENERGY STAR specification in each product category. The RPP Trial was conducted with a single participating retailer, in 26 participating stores.
