Update: OMA filed objections to Duke’s energy efficiency and peak demand reduction (EE/PDR) plan. OMA recommended that the PUCO curtail Duke’s ability to earn a customer-funded shared savings incentive. As one example, OMA recommended that there be a cap on the amount of the incentive. OMA urged the PUCO to scrutinize the need for Duke’s business demand response programs because private firms are able to provide these same types of services at lower costs. The PUCO was further urged by OMA to modify Duke’s PJM capacity bidding plan to provide benefits to customers from offsetting costs with the PJM revenues obtained and from maximizing bidding strategies that will have price suppression effects on the wholesale capacity market.
