About the RTF

The Regional Technical Forum (RTF) is an advisory committee established in 1999 (see charter) to develop standards to verify and evaluate conservation savings.

Members are appointed by the Council and include individuals experienced in conservation program planning, implementation and evaluation.

The RTF is also responsible for developing a conservation and renewable resources rate discount (C&RD) for the Bonneville Power Administration. The C&RD program awards rate discounts to customers who have implemented effective energy conservation measures.
