Mr. Cameron introduced Scott Albert, Principal Northeast Manager, GDS Associates, Inc. Ms. Parenteau
and Mr. Seldon described the process that had lead to the report being made to the Subcommittee.
Mr. Albert reported that the GDS Report was the "draft" of the Energy Efficiency Technical Potential and
Renewable Energy study. Mr. Albert then went on to explain the study with respect to how the energy
efficient measures were calculated in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
- Ms. O'Neill commented on some typos in the report that needed to be corrected in the final report. Mr.
Soli asked if the font in some of the tables be enlarged so he could see them better.
Discussion ensued relating to the content of the report.
Mr. Hahn commented that the GDS report quantified the opportunities for implementing energy
efficiency within the RMLD service area and that the level of savings GDS identified is relatively
consistent with similar studies that he has seen.

sent to Bill Seldon by January 18. Bill will send the comments onto GDS and the final report will be
delivered to the RMLD on January 23.
