Cape Light Compact is an award winning energy services organization on the Cape and Martha's Vineyard. The CLC works collaboratively with other state wide program administrators to provide cost effective energy efficiency programs. Specific program enhancements include the continuation of the 100% no cap on insulation measures for year- round electrical consumption users and natural gas heated home customers who prefer to be served by the Cape Light Compact. Objectives of the enhanced residential offering include incentives for 700 non-gas heated participants; tiered services by income, and the conversion of oil, propane, electric resistance heat to cold climate heat pumps. Strategic electrification includes PV systems to support heating systems, reduce emissions and offset increased electricity usage. Battery storage is proposed and requires an interconnection agreement for installation for demand response and resiliency. Other pians include incentivizing connected devices (smart appliances, Wi-Fi, thermostats,plug load controllers etc.) to reduce residential energy use.
