The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy announced the launch of the State Energy Efficiency Action Network last week, which aims to accelerate deployment of energy efficiency policies and programs at the state level.
The goal of SEE Action is to assist energy policymakers, utility regulators, energy efficiency program administrators, and other market participants in achieving all cost-effective energy efficiency by 2020 – five years earlier than originally envisioned by the Action Plan. SEE Action will consider more than just ratepayer funded energy efficiency programs and will examine the full array of opportunities to achieve greater energy efficiency.
New SEE Action working groups will be created to address obstacles common to multiple states and advance consistent approaches and best practices. Working groups are expected in the areas of residential efficiency programs, financing solutions, evaluation of program savings, and improving availability of energy usage information.
