LOUISVILLE ENERGY ACTION PLAN <br />trend across the electricity and natural gas sectors. Year over year, the residential sector has shown a <br />slight decrease in electricity and natural gas consumption, offset by a slight increase in the commercial <br />sector's electricity and natural gas consumption, as shown in Error! Reference source not found.. This <br />trending has occurred amid population growth and economic prosperity. It is also worth noting that this data <br />has not been weather normalized, so looking in particular at the natural gas consumption, the spike in 2014 <br />is also correlated to lower than average temperatures and a resulting higher heating demand. <br />Figure 9. Energy Use Since 2013 <br />Community Efficiency Program Participation <br />Baseline data gathered to help in developing this Energy Action Plan include historic Xcel Energy demand <br />side management (DSM) rebate program participation count specifically for Louisville. These data provide a <br />snapshot of what types of programs both residential and commercial customers are using, to what degree, <br />and likely channels of information. They also show opportunities for greater participation in the available <br />DSM programs and need for increased education and awareness across the community. Figure 10 and <br />Figure 11 show the DSM program participation for the baseline year, 2015. <br />Participant Count <br />700 <br />600 <br />500 <br />400 <br />300 <br />200 <br />100 <br />0 <br />1 0 <br />Residential Program Participation Counts <br />21 <br />295 <br />1 <br />626 <br />75 86 <br />24 11 47 23 1 1545 <br />. . 12 12 <br />— • — 42 <br />°o s�. °o as ey o� . o� a< �r` \�� ..c� o� r O� csoo via. ,at <br />a�` Qt° a�` e o� ma` o` o a� c aw` • 'k- o 0 <br />;4 ;<\,'D <br />`ti (2,,<N cps' .0 JP °e se e°a ,xe y`'� ,°C sxea \ae .ae <br />re �o �,ce o� „ac \�e oa e700 ao Q`.c �Q. `a. et )Q 6t e5 ey <br />�6a lea o\S c°��� o<6 ���o e o k°tom 4 ca;`o ae'c `'a, o'D �� sO i<0 <br />o P co et ,`. e 5` aS ce <br />�a•�J \ Qa��J��k�\``e ,..o-...y<�\`6oeJ se Q \oyo�a e��\0O �6 airec �Y4 \ aooc <br />•e 5 <br />o� eiaO Q' co `a Ao <br />�` cc" �0 �' so <br />Figure 10.
