Definition Conservation Gigawatt Hours (GWh) is the cumulative gigawatt hours saved as a result of economic demand-side management. The targets are based on net savings from current Power Smart programs and programs expected to come on stream. In the future, the Conservation GWh measure will be redefined as Demand Side-Management GWh to acknowledge the inclusion of both past and future energy efficiency and load displacement projects.
Variance Explanation The 2004/2005 target has been revised from 1,310 to 1,315 as it was incorrectly reported in the 2004 Service Plan. Energy savings were above plan because program participation and market effects were higher than anticipated in the industrial and residential sectors. This was partially offset by lower than anticipated program participation in the commercial sector. The target for 2005/2006 has been updated to 1,886 GWh/yr to reflect the most recent version of the 10-Year Plan for Power Smart. The results include both residential and business demand-side management.
