This information is intended for service providers who would like to learn of upcoming events and program updates.
Notice: Program Year Change!
We have extended the end of year closing from November 3 (or first Friday of November) to first Friday of December which is the 12/1/2006 for this program year only.
Website Changes:
In October 2006 the Energy Efficiency web site will be updated and become more user friendly for our consumers. This consumer user friendly web site will provide a faster way to gain access to the list of energy efficiency service providers (also known as "participating contractors"). This web site will add a “Things You Should Know” link which will provide a list of questions for consumers to ask when in the process of selecting the best Service Provider suited for the consumer’s needs. This information is being provided to prepare you for additional questions you may encounter during your contact with your customers.
Please note that "participating contractors" are now referred to as "service providers".
Multifamily Project Option: Coming Soon!
Dates will soon be announced. All multifamily projects will be a one project contract and project sponsors may only do one apartment complex per project. There is a pre-approval of all measures to be installed prior to any contract being approved. It will be the responsibility of the Project Sponsor to contact the Program Manager to schedule a time for pre-approvals of measures. All projects must be completed in 30 days from approval of the contract date. The Multifamily Project Option link will become available for application submittal once the program has opened. A meeting will be held prior to the program opening to discuss and answer any questions.

R-Value Chart
Oncor uses a R-Value Chart when determining the value for installed insulation. If your values differ from these, Oncor requests that you provide documentation for approval. This chart can be found under Program Resources in the “Other” category.
Updated Documents
Please note that certain documents located on the Program Resources page have been updated due to Federal Register Income changes and Public Utility Commission “Deemed Savings Update”. Any documents downloaded prior to 03/20/2006 will need to be downloaded again for a current Program Manual.
LIW SOP Program Status
To all interested parties: The LIW SOP Program has not identified an open date to begin. Oncor’s LIW SOP is currently awaiting a ruling on funding issues by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).
We thank you for your patience and look forward to working with you soon.
