HTR SOP Summary
The Hard-to-Reach Standard Offer Program (SOP) was developed to provide incentives to suppliers and installers of energy efficiency services to produce electric energy demand and energy savings through projects at EPE Hard-to-Reach (HTR) customers' homes. The primary objective of these programs is to achieve cost-effective reduction in peak summer electric demand.
This performance-based program provides payments for energy savings generated by installing energy efficiency measures in accordance with the Program Manual, which is available for downloaded via the left menu bar by clicking on "Program Manual" or from our downloads page. EPE will enter into Standard Offer Program Agreements for peak demand and energy savings with "Project Sponsors" who are typically energy efficiency service firms such as air conditioning contractors, insulation installers, lighting contractors or national energy service companies.
The El Paso Electric Res-HTR Program Manual and Deemed Savings Helper tool have been updated with the new air conditioning deemed savings values as of March 2006. Please download these files from the Downloads page.
The PROGRAM MANUAL has been updated as of November 25, 2007, please download a current copy of these documents.
