Key Progress Indicators Scorecard

CalMTA uses key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure its progress at the program-level and by market transformation initiative (MTI). The scorecard below reflects KPIs for all market transformation initiatives (MTIs) in the portfolio as well as operational performance.

This scorecard shows 2025 year to date (YTD) data as of March 31, 2025. At the time of posting, with no MTIs in the Phase III: Market Deployment, we can only report on operational KPIs. “N/A” refers to data that is not available at the time of posting. Targets shown in the scorecard reflect the MTIs submitted and pending approval as part of the Application. After Application approval, future scorecards will show targets for approved MTIs. This scorecard is updated quarterly.

2024 KPI scorecard

Operational Performance
Percent of annual operations plan milestones achieved

In CalMTA’s annual Operations Plan, we identify milestones related to MTI development, operations, stakeholder engagement, and equity to be completed by quarter. Collectively, the milestones listed roll up to this KPI.

Budget expenditures ($M)

This KPI represents funds spent to date for the current year compared to the approved budget.

Administration percent of total expenditures

This KPI measures the proportion of CalMTA’s budget spent in the Administration Cost Category.

Budget accrued to third parties as percent of total program expenditures

Measures the proportion of CalMTA’s budget going to third parties, including payments made to third parties (subcontractors, representatives, advisors) who are contracted to members of the CalMTA team including stipend payments made to Market Transformation Advisory Board (MTAB) members and Equity Sounding Board members, and payments made to members of the Evaluation Advisory Group. It also includes incentive payments. It excludes payments made to Resource Innovations and to any of Resource Innovations' eight subs that comprise the CalMTA team, and payments made to vendors for items like software licensing and supplies.

Budget accrued to third parties as percent of total program expenditures (2026-2030 cumulative)

As above, over the initial five-year funding period.

Achievement to Phase III MTI market progress milestones (% of current year milestones met)

Each MTI has a number of market progress indicators (MPIs) documented in the MTI Plan which are metrics that are used to track market progress. Milestones are the specific expected quantitative or empirical achievements, including timing, that correspond with certain MPIs. This KPI tracks the proportion of market progress milestones met or on track to be met for the current year.

MTI equity milestone attainment (% of current year MTI equity milestones met)

Each initiative has MPIs that relate specifically to equity aspects of the MTI. Collectively, all equity milestones in the portfolio roll up to this KPI.

Percent of ESJ engagement milestones achieved (Q1 2025)

This KPI reflects CalMTA’s performance on completing planned ESJ engagement milestones each year necessary to grow relationships and support feedback on MTI interventions focused on delivering equitable outcomes. These activities are documented in the annual Operations Plan.

In all cases, these savings and benefits KPIs are across the portfolio

2026-2030 Net incremental TSB ($)

The dollar value of energy, grid, and greenhouse gas benefits to the electric and natural gas systems, net of what other energy efficiency program administrators may claim.

2026-2030 Net incremental energy benefits ($)

The dollar value of energy to the electric and natural gas systems from avoided generation, net of what other energy efficiency program administrators may claim.

2026-2030 Net incremental grid benefits ($)

The dollar value of capacity, transmission, and distribution capacity benefits to the electric and gas systems, net of what other energy efficiency program administrators may claim.

2026-2030 Net incremental GHG reduction ($)

The dollar value of GHG benefits – including both carbon (expressed through the GHG adder) and high global-warming potential gases, such as methane and refrigerants, net of what other energy efficiency program administrators may claim.

2026-2030 Co-created incremental TSB ($)

Total TSB impacts (including PA-reported savings) influenced by the MTI via coordinated MTI and other EE program efforts.

Lifetime net incremental TSB ($)

TSB for the lifetime of all MTIs that have advanced to Phase III, which is typically 20 years.

Forecasted lifetime cost-effectiveness, total resource cost (TRC)

Measures the relative costs and benefits of the portfolio to both participants and non-participants. The portfolio includes the costs of Phase II and Phase III for all approved MTIs.

Forecasted lifetime cost-effectiveness, program administrator cost (PAC)

Measures the program costs incurred by the administrator, the incentives paid to the customers, and the increased supply costs for the periods in which load is increased.

Forecasted lifetime cost-effectiveness (SCT)

The lifetime forecasted cost-effectiveness for CalMTA’s portfolio based on net incremental TSB, using California’s rules for the Societal Cost Test, which is a variant on the TRC test that includes the effects of externalities, excludes tax credit benefits, and uses a different (societal) discount rate.
