The amount of conserved energy achieved through energy efficiency measures shall be validated by the use of an energy efficiency impact evaluation. An energy efficiency impact evaluation shall be performed at appropriate periodic intervals that may be no more frequent than once every three years and shall be consistent with generally accepted industry guidelines for measurement and verification. As necessary, an energy efficiency impact evaluation shall include adjustments to account for factors that are beyond the control of the retail provider of electricity or energy consumer in order to bring baseline energy use and post-installation energy use subject to the same or similar conditions. Adjustments may include weather corrections, occupancy levels and hours, change of building or facility use, and production levels. The retail provider shall provide a general explanation of each energy efficiency impact evaluation or estimate, the rationale for using each energy efficiency impact evaluation or estimate, and the amount of expenditures spent on energy efficiency measures for the calendar year.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;tab-stops:.4in .6in .9in 1.1in 1.4in 1.6in 1.9in 2.1in 2.4in 2.6in 2.9in 3.1in 3.4in 3.6in 3.9in 4.1in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;tab-stops:.4in .6in .9in 1.1in 1.4in 1.6in 1.9in 2.1in 2.4in 2.6in 2.9in 3.1in 3.4in 3.6in 3.9in 4.1in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'><span style='mso-tab-count: 1'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>If an energy efficiency impact evaluation has not been completed at the time the retail provider's annual report is due, the retail provider may use reported conserved energy savings for the time period the energy efficiency measure was in effect.
