The Energy Savings and Impacts Scenario Tool (ESIST) Version 1.2 is a customizable and transparent Excel-based planning tool for analyzing the energy savings and costs from customer-funded energy efficiency programs and their impacts on emissions and public health. ESIST enables users to develop, explore, and share energy efficiency scenarios between 2010 and 2045.
ESIST users first select a study area based on states, utility types, specific utilities, or different customer sectors within a utility. Users can adjust inputs, including electricity sales growth forecasts, energy efficiency savings goals, program budgets, savings expiration schedules, discount rates, and first-year costs. The tool allows users to compare levels of energy efficiency savings, annual costs, and levelized costs of saved energy. ESIST users can then estimate multiple benefits that could result from the user-generated energy efficiency scenario—including avoided emissions, public health benefits, peak demand impacts, and energy burden reductions—and review customer demographic data.
ESIST focuses primarily on energy efficiency savings in the electricity sector. The ESIST: Pilot Gas Version 1.2 is focused on natural gas savings from energy efficiency or other gas-saving measures in the in the residential and commercial sectors.

| Energy Resources for State, Local, and Tribal Governments: Investing in energy strategies that lower emissions can be an effective way for state, local and Tribal governments to achieve multiple goals: improving air quality and public health, strengthen their energy systems, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving money. EPA offers free tools, data and technical expertise about energy strategies, including energy efficiency, renewable energy and other emerging technologies, to help state, local and tribal governments achieve their environmental, energy, and economic objectives. While many of these resources were developed for state and local governments, Tribes may also find them useful. |
