Johnson Consulting Group - Analysis that makes sense

2010 has started with a bang for Johnson Consulting Group. Our program design and evaluation practice continues to grow and expand. Here's a brief snapshot of some of the exciting projects we're working on in 2010.

Central Hudson Gas & Electric: Working with Applied Energy Group, Katherine drafted the three-year evaluation plans for Central Hudson's new portfolio of residential and small commercial DSM programs. Katherine has also led the first-year process evaluations of Central Hudson's SavingsCentral programs targeting residential and commercial gas and electric customers. The first-year process evaluations will be completed in the first quarter of 2010.
Columbia Gas of Virginia: Columbia Gas of Virginia's newly-launched CARE portfolio of energy efficiency programs. Columbia will devote $8.5 million over three years (2010-2012) to implement these energy efficiency programs. Columbia is one of the nine energy distribution companies of NiSource, Inc. (NYSE: NI). Johnson Consulting Group will be developing the EM&V plans for these new residential and small commercial programs, and then will be leading the program evaluation activities and will be teaming with colleagues at Summit Blue Consulting (now part of Navigant Consulting).
Riverside Public Utilities: Extending its long association with the municipal utilities in California, Johnson Consulting Group and the team from Summit Blue (now with Navigant Consulting) has completed its first round of program evaluation activities for Riverside Public Utilities. This builds on the previously-completed EM&V work conducted for Northern California municipal utilities (managed through NCPA) and now includes Southern California municipal utilities (managed through SCPPA). JCG will be completing additional process evaluation activities for these Southern California municipal utilities throughout the first quarter of 2010.
Western Area Power Administration: JCG will continue to support Western in the development and deployment of several workshops to its members throughout the Great Plains region. Currently, plans are underway to develop a series of workshops on Advances in Water Heating Technologies and "Best Practices" in Water Heating Programs. Details for these workshops will be finalized in the next few months.

AESP’s prestigious B. H. Prasad Award for Outstanding Contributor of the Year went to Katherine Johnson of Johnson Consulting Group in recognition of her ongoing volunteer work to benefit AESP.

Katherine, rarely speechless, accepted the award with "I want to express my deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks for receiving the B.H. Prasad Award from AESP. It has been a privilege to work with the board, staff, and members of AESP during the past few years and I know AESP will continue its outstanding efforts to serve energy services professionals.
