Update Claims ProgramCost.CostsRecoveredFromOtherSources description

Feature RequestDesign Upgrade

We had a user request for more information on ProgramCost.CostsRecoveredFromOtherSources

That included the following questions

  1. What are considered other sources that are appropriate to report?

  2. When is it appropriate to populate this field?

  3. How does this field impact CET outputs if at all?

Proposed update for the description in Claims specification:

This field captures program-level energy efficiency (EE) activity costs that are funded outside of the EE Public Purpose Program (PPP) budget, such as those covered by the General Rate Case (GRC). These costs are included to ensure accurate cost-effectiveness calculations but should not be confused with Integrated Demand-Side Management (IDSM) fields.

    Hi CEDARS team,

    Please see my proposed edit to your definition in bold. It is important that this field still identify these funds as being recovered from ratepayers, even if they are not within the PPP budget.

    Hi @cedars team , thank you for following up. We are posing this question with some urgency as we are exploring whether it pertains to the non-ratepayer funding that CCAs may need to use in light of the recent CCA budget reallocation. Thanks again for your time and consideration.
