The Clean Coalition is proud to announce the release of the “Determining Program Size & Cost Impact” module ofthe Local CLEAN Program Guide. The Guide is a detailed tool for communities and utilities across the nation to evaluate, design, and enact Clean Local Energy Accessible Now (CLEAN) Programs. The Guide draws from tremendously successful CLEAN Programs in the United States, such as the Gainesville, FL program and the soon-to-be operational CLEAN Programs that the Clean Coalition helped design in Fort Collins, Colorado and Palo Alto, California.

TheDetermining Program Size & Cost Impactmodule assists utilities with setting the appropriate CLEAN Program size and assessing the associated cost impact. This module shows how the optimal program size can be determined in light of the avoided cost analysis and the program goals and constraints. This module also demonstrates how to calculate the cost impact of the program, and explains why a CLEAN Program may have no cost impact.
