SUMMIT BLUE CONSULTING, LLC.
Summit Blue Consulting (Summit Blue) provides professional consulting services to energy companies, investors,
regulators, and the utility industry. Summit Blue is comprised of a team of experienced energy industry professionals with
a wide range of backgrounds and skills, including economics, engineering, market research, and policy analysis.
Summit Blue’s primary practice areas include:
• Strategic planning and integrated resource planning, including demand and supply procurement analysis.
• Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and load management program design and implementation support.
• Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and load management program measurement and evaluation.
• Energy systems technology assessment and technical and economic potential studies.
• Quantitative and qualitative market research and market assessments.
• GHG strategies, tracking systems and economic impact modeling
Within these practice areas, Summit Blue’s services span the spectrum from strategy development to product and program
planning to marketing and outreach, to evaluation. Summit Blue has expertise in all data collection methods related to
customer information including general data on awareness of energy efficiency (EE) measures, attitudes, barriers, and
characteristics, as well as energy use and peak demand used in impact assessment. We have conducted numerous
satisfaction, loyalty, and branding studies, as well as projects that map customer preferences, issues, barriers, and actions
that can feed program theories, logic models, influence hypotheses, and the development of indicators that capture both
the direct and indirect effects (e.g., spillover and market effects) of the program.
For evaluations, Summit Blue works to develop a system that collects basic information on facilities, operating conditions,
and technical details of the EE measures installed onsite at the time of delivery of service. These data serve to give
program implementers and the EM&V team an accurate depiction of what occurred at each site. In addition, our team will
supplement this information with other original data collection and analytic activities. This approach has proven to
provide the most cost-effective and reliable EM&V datasets. Our evaluation staff has also conducted detailed impact,
process, and market evaluations of a wide range of DSM and Market Transformation programs, employing a full range of
data collection and analytic techniques. We have recently deployed an innovative integrated evaluation approach where
evaluation data collection and analysis are built into and integrated with the program implementation process.
Summit Blue professionals have conducted impact, process, and market evaluations of over 200 utility energy efficiency
and load management programs for more than 40 utilities and energy agencies across North America. Summit Blue staff
members have been the principal authors of EPRI guidebooks to the evaluation of utility DSM programs and the
application of engineering methods and end-use metering to energy analysis. Summit Blue professionals have also
presented numerous seminars and workshops on the application of engineering and statistical methods to the impact
evaluation of utility, state, and regional programs. Summit Blue professionals are experienced analysts and researchers in
the areas of statistical analytic methods, engineering modeling and analysis, in-field data collection and end-use
metering/monitoring, and quantitative and qualitative market research and surveys, including discrete-choice modeling
and conjoint analysis.
Summit Blue is based in Boulder, Colorado. The company was formed in 2000 by experienced utility industry
professionals, whose careers have focused on assessing markets for demand-side management and renewable energy
efforts, designing and implementing effective delivery mechanisms, and evaluating programs for their energy savings
impacts and efficiency of administration. Currently, we serve our clients through our staff of 60 professionals located in
six offices across North America, including California, Washington, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Vermont. Additional
information on our staff resources and sample publications are available at our website www.summitblue.com
