Database of Screening Practices (DSP)
E4TheFuture
Completed December 2018
In 2018 and 2019, Synapse surveyed 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico on energy efficiency cost-effectiveness practices and created a public database to summarize and compare state results. The purpose of the Database of Screening Practices (DSP) was to provide information regarding state cost-effectiveness screening practices for ratepayer-funded electric efficiency programs. States can use the DSP to learn from other state’s practices and to readily access and better understand policies, processes, and studies that support assumptions used by states in benefit-cost analyses.
