Utility Rebates for Multifamily Owners The Multifamily Standard Offer Project Option was developed by The Texas Public Utility Commission to provide an incentive to suppliers of Energy services to implement electric energy–efficiency projects at The Electric Delivery Co.'s multifamily customers' residences. With the Multifamily Project Option, The Electric Delivery Co. is no longer directly involved in the delivery of energy efficiency services to its customers. Under the Multifamily Project Option, The Electric Delivery Co. is purchasing peak demand reductions (kW) and energy savings (kWh) from project sponsors (such as Atlas Star Energy), who are acting as suppliers of energy efficiency services. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) has issued program criteria for the Multifamily Project Option. These criteria specify who may participate as a "project sponsor" and the specific types of measures to be installed at a project site. All projects implemented under The Electric Delivery Co.'s Multifamily Project Option must comply with the Texas Electric Choice Act, the PUCT Energy Efficiency Rule, and PUCT program criteria. The Electric Delivery Co. will pay project sponsors a fixed price per kW and kWh of savings. This "standard offer" price has been determined by the PUCT, and is the same for all project sponsors in the program. Summary Eligible Project Measures
