Community Choice Aggregation Feasibility Analysis Alameda County <br />June, 2016 5 MRW & Associates, LLC <br /> <br />Table 1. Alameda County Average Technical and Economic Energy Efficiency Potential <br />Metric Technical Potential Economic Potential  <br />Range (% of sales) 21% 16% 18% 15%  <br />Potential (GWh) 1,623 1,237 1,391 1,159  <br />Table 2 provides a forecast of the market potential for energy efficiency based on a similar <br />analysis market forecasts from the CPUC potential studies. The row labeled “PG&E Goals” represents Alameda County’s share of the market potential forecast which formed the basis for PG&E’s 2015 energy efficiency program portfolio savings targets.16 That is, because Alameda <br />is in PG&E’s service area, it provides, and will continue to provide, energy efficiency programs <br />to Alameda county residents and businesses. This row shows this amount. The row labeled <br />“High Savings Scenario” represents the energy efficiency savings attributable to Alameda County in the CPUC potential study’s high savings scenario.17 The row labelled ”Incremental Potential” is the difference between PG&E’s 2015 portfolio goals for Alameda County and the <br />high savings scenario for the County. This row represents the total market potential that could be <br />served by CCA administered programs. The forecast presented in Table 2 <br />Table 2.
