<br />7 <br />strategies. <br /> <br />Where Are We Now? – Baseline Energy Analysis <br />Energy Data Overview <br />An integral part of the Partners in Energy planning process is reviewing historic energy <br />data for Fridley. This included data on energy use and participation in utility energy <br />conservation programs, as well as savings associated with participation in those <br />programs. Data was provided by both Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy for all <br />Fridley premises for 2015-2017. The data helped the Energy Action Team decide where <br />to focus efforts and allowed the group to forecast the impact of Fridley’s energy goals. <br />Baseline Energy Analysis <br />This section summarizes community-wide energy use, conservation program <br />participation, and historic energy savings.10 Data included in this section establish a <br />baseline against which progress toward goals will be compared to in the future. <br />Premises <br />A premise is a unique identifier for the location of electricity or natural gas service. In <br />most cases, it is a facility or building location. In Fridley, there are 13,433 electricity <br />premises served by Xcel Energy and 9,768 natural gas premises served by CenterPoint <br />Energy. The distribution of electric and natural gas premises among residential, <br />commercial and industrial, and municipal premises is shown in Figure 4. <br /> <br /> <br />10 The electricity and natural gas data in this plan complies with Xcel Energy’s 15 x15 privacy rules, which <br />require all data summary statistics to contain at least 15 entities, with no single entity responsible for more <br />than 15 percent of the total. Following these rules, if an entity is responsible for more than 15 percent of <br />the total for that data set, they are removed from the summary. No premises were removed from the <br />summary.
