Dear Zulma,

Thank you for your letter of January 18, 2011. The Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance (the "Alliance") appreciates the clarification of the Board's decision to make the Alliance eligible for costs in EB-2010-0279 and EB-2010-0331/0332 proceedings, and the reasons for that decision. The Alliance does not intend to "advocate generation" in these proceedings.

In the Alliance's letter of January 17, 2011, dealing with the Co-ordinated Consultation Proceedings EB-2010-0377, 0378, and 0379, the reference to "behind the meter and small scale community generation" in the second full paragraph on page 2, is a reference to cogeneration, district heating (often coupled with cogeneration) facilities and geothermal heating and cooling. Cogeneration and geothermal heating and cooling initiatives are included explicitly or by inference in the Minister's March 31, 2010 CDM directive to the OPA and in the OPA's initial Integrated Energy System Plan (IESP). District heating and/or cooling schemes are also generally considered energy conservation measures.

As the Board is aware, building, neighbourhood, and community scale geothermal (heat pump) networks are a growing part of the Ontario marketplace. The parts of the Green Energy Act that mandate energy plans by municipalities and other public authorities will lead to more of these facilities.

I hope these comments are helpful in clarifying our intentions.


Yours sincerely,
