The RTF is currently soliciting proposals for the development of hourly load profiles for select energy efficiency measures. The RTF has identified several priority hourly profiles that require updates to improve the reliability of RTF work.The work is anticipated to be completed over two different RTF Work Plan years, with some portion of the tasks occurring in the remainder of 2018, and the rest in 2019. All submissions are due to jlight@nwcouncil.org by COB September 28th, 2018.

At the August 14th meeting of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, the Council voted unanimously to release a white paper for public comment, which details how the Regional Technical Form (rtf.nwcouncil.org) generates estimates of energy savings from efficiency measures. This paper also provides information on how those estimates support the work performed by organizations throughout the region, including the Council itself, the region’s public and investor owned utilities, and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance.
