Austin Energy Efficiency Program Impact 1982-2012

1982 to 2012 data tracks Austin Energy's efficiency programs, which offset 318 MW of peak demand between 2007 and 2012. The programs aimed to avoid building a 700 MW power plant and targeted an 800 MW reduction by 2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze program participation trends over time to assess progress toward the 800 MW goal
• Model the relationship between program participation and megawatt offsets achieved
• Compare offset performance across different program years or categories like commercial square footage

Strengths

• Covers a 30-year time range from 1982 to 2012
• Documents a specific 318 MW offset achieved toward a quantified 800 MW goal
• Provided by the authoritative City of Austin organization

Limitations

• Missing column definitions and sample data prevents understanding of specific features
• Blank cells indicate gaps where programs were not tracked or discontinued
• Data recency is unclear as the last update date appears to be in the future (2026)
