Database of Screening Practices
The DSP provides information regarding state cost-effectiveness screening practices for ratepayer-funded electric and natural gas energy efficiency programs from 52 jurisdiction. States can use the DSP to learn about other states’ practices, and to readily access and better understand policies, processes, and studies that support assumptions used by states in their benefit-cost analyses (BCA). The DSP can also help to identify where and how states are using the National Standard Practice Manual to guide their BCA practices. The DSP was fully updated prior to transferring from NESP to ACEEE in early 2025.
