In order to justify increased utility investments in energy efficiency, regulators typically require that the money spent meets some form of “cost-effectiveness” test. But today, the most common cost-effectiveness tests, including the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test, are (unnecessarily) biased toward programs that incentivize low- or no-cost measures rather than deep retrofits. Cost-effectiveness tests often hurt decarbonization efforts by including private capital investments versus focusing on ratepayer investments. It’s time to update our definition of cost-effectiveness so that we can effectively decarbonize buildings and help households save lots of energy. https://lnkd.in/e3f-5bAb

Thanks for taking the time to chat Xan Winterton!
🌻 #MissionPossibleClimateTech Series 1 Episode 5 Sealed On this episode I sat down with Co-Founder & CEO Lauren Salz to discuss Sealed's journey over the course of 10+ years. 🛣 Sealed: 🏗 Enables contractors to install more electrification & home weatherization projects by accessing rebates from the IRA, getting contractors paid sooner allowing them to grow their business and speed up the decarbonization process 👩💻 What's hot: 🔥 Sealed's mission has stayed the same but the way they are achieving it has change - pivoting your business is crucial to stay ahead of the market 🔥 Lauren's number one criteria for a hiring candidate - is this a good opportunity for them? This helps massively when it comes to productivity and team retention - don't force a hire if it's not going to work for both parties 🔥 Early customers are essential in helping any business iterate, develop and find product market fit 🔥 Keeping Lauren up at night (apart from her kids 👩👧👦 😂): the industry isn't moving fast enough 🙏 Thank you to Lauren Salz for sharing your insights and to Sealed for helping thousands of people get their heads round the complexities of the IRA.

Every contractor participating in an energy efficiency rebate program incurs what are often called “carrying costs.” These are essentially the costs incurred between the time when a project is installed and when that rebate is paid out by the program. Keeping carrying costs low is more important than ever now that the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Home Energy Rebates are hitting the market. Luckily, thoughtful program design can help minimize carrying costs for all. https://lnkd.in/eNrn9TRw

To quickly launch the Inflation Reduction Act HOMES Program, states should stand up measured savings pilot programs. In measured pilot programs, states can ask aggregators to take on more responsibility and accountability for program inputs. In turn, state energy offices and their implementation partners can spend more time and budget on other program elements. https://lnkd.in/eWcjv7_7

With the IRA rebates coming online, a big question remains: Will consumers be happy with their experience? Or will they give the rebates no tomatoes? The decisions that matter are coming soon—especially when it comes to how these rebates can be accessed by the average household. The good news, though? It is still possible for every state to produce a blockbuster film. https://lnkd.in/gKrb4ya3
The IRA Home Energy Rebates could end up being a good or bad movie

Done right, the #InflationReductionAct #HomeEnergyRebates can make a big impact for low-income households that want to adopt cleaner, greener technologies like heat pumps and insulation. But as states roll out these rebates, it’s important to not increase financial burdens for low-income families. To truly protect low-income households and build an equitable workforce, states can tie HOMES rebates to actual energy savings with the measured pathway. Keep reading 👇 https://lnkd.in/eajdqfF3
