Energy efficiency, resilience and conservation <-- program.
(a) Program.--The commission shall[, by January 15, 2009,] adopt an energy efficiency, resilience and conservation program <-- to require electric distribution companies to adopt and implement cost-effective energy efficiency, resilience and <-- conservation plans to reduce energy demand and consumption within the service territory of each electric distribution company in this Commonwealth.
(5) Standards to ensure that each plan includes a variety of energy efficiency, resilience and conservation <-- measures, including measures that increase consumer <-- resilience to extreme weather events, and will provide the measures equitably to all classes of customers.
(6) Procedures to make recommendations as to additional measures that will enable an electric distribution company to improve its plan and exceed the required reductions in consumption under subsections (c) and (d) while increasing <-- consumer resilience to extreme weather events.
(8) Procedures to review all proposed contracts prior to the execution of the contract with conservation service 20250HB0505PN2362 - 2 - providers to implement the plan.
The commission may order the modification of a proposed contract to ensure that the plan 20250HB0505PN1482 - 2 - meets the requirements for reduction in demand and consumption under subsections (c) and (d).

(B) [A minimum of 10%] The commission shall approve a targeted required reduction requiring a minimum of no greater than MAXIMUM OF 10% of the <-- 20250HB0505PN2362 - 3 - required reductions in consumption under subsections (c) and (d) [shall] to be obtained from units of Federal, 20250HB0505PN1482 - 3 - State and local government, including municipalities, school districts, institutions of higher education [and], nonprofit entities and housing authorities, and from subsidized housing.
(D) The plan shall state the manner in which the plan will achieve the requirements of the program under subsection (a) and will achieve or exceed the required reductions in consumption under subsections (c) and (d) while increasing consumer resilience to <-- extreme weather events.
(F) The plan shall include estimates of the cost of implementation of the energy efficiency, <-- resilience and conservation measures in the plan.
The number of measures] or an alternative income level established APPROVED by the commission not less than <-- 150% of the Federal poverty income guidelines.
The 20250HB0505PN2362 - 4 - reductions in consumption shall be proportionate to those households' share of the total energy usage in the 20250HB0505PN1482 - 4 - service territory.

The reduction shall be measured against the electric distribution company's 20250HB0505PN2362 - 9 - peak demand for June 1, 2007, through May 31, 2008.
(2) By November 30, 2013, the commission shall compare the total costs of energy efficiency, resilience and <-- conservation plans implemented under this section to the total savings in energy and capacity costs to retail customers in this Commonwealth or other costs determined by 20250HB0505PN1482 - 9 - the commission.
If the commission determines that the benefits of the plans exceed the costs, the commission shall set additional incremental requirements for reduction in peak demand for the 100 hours of greatest demand,demand DAILY PEAK <-- DEMAND or an alternative reduction approved by the commission.
(3) By November 30, 2030, the commission shall compare <-- the total costs of energy efficiency, resilience and conservation plans implemented under this section to the total savings in energy, resilience and capacity costs to retail customers in this Commonwealth or other costs determined by the commission.
