Section 11 of the Arkansas Public Service Commission's Rules for Conservation and Energy Efficiency Programs (C&EE Program Rules) directs that a registered professional engineer or company official authorized to bind the Company must certify the accur~cy of Company's request for a Certificate of Exemption to "opt out" of participating in utility provided EE programs and participate instead in a Self-Directed EE Option. In accordance with Section 11 of the C&EE Program Rules, I understand, agree, and certify as follows: 1. I am a registered professional engineer or company official authorized to bind Company. 2. I have reviewed the following information provided in Company's request for a Certificate of Exemption: (a) the estimate of the expected life of the measure(s) or investment(s); (b) the estimate of expected EE savings or evidence of the actual EE savings realized or to be realized, which can be linked to a specific measure(s) or investment(s) which were not the result of utility-sponsored programs, stated in kilowatts (kW) or kilowatt hours (kWh) for electricity and in million British Thermal Units (MMBtu) or thousand cubic feet (Mct) for natural gas; APSC FILED Time: 9/15/2011 1:56:23 PM: Recvd 9/15/2011 12:54:58 PM: Docket 11-094-sd-Doc. 1 (c) the explanation of how the estimate of expected EE savings or actual EE savings realized were calculated, including supporting workpapers; (d) the name, title, company and contact information for the person responsible for calculating the expected EE savings; (e) the historical annual usage and peak load information necessary to verify eligibility pursuant to subsection K or L of Section 11 of the C&EE Program Rules, and a list of account numbers for all qualifying facilities; (f) the estimate of expected EE savings or evidence of the actual EE savings realized, which can be linked to a specific measure(s) or investment(s), may include allowances for any reasonably known and measurable changes in operations, changes in output, or production level changes at the qualifying Customer location( s); (g) the explanation of how the Customer has exhausted its opportunity to conduct further meaningful cost-effective EE programs or how the Customer is unable to realize benefits through participation in its utility's EE programs including a description of any measures implemented or investments made by the Customer that support that conclusion if the Customer is alleging that it has exhausted its opportunity to conduct further meaningful cost-effective EE programs or that is unable to realize benefits through participation in its utility's EE programs; and (h) the description of the steps the Customer has taken or will take to measure and verify the achievement of the estimated EE savings supporting the request for a Certificate. 3. Based on my review of the information provided in Company's request for a Certificate of Exemption, and my professional judgment as a professional engineer and/or Company official, the information and assertions contained in the Certificate of Exemption are accurate.
