ACEEE's THIRD NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

"ENERGY EFFICIENCY AS A RESOURCE"


Sunday, September 25 – Tuesday, September 27, 2005
DoubleTree Hotel Berkeley Marina
Berkeley, California


Sponsored by:

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority; Pacific Gas & Electric; Southern California Edison; Southern California Gas; San Diego Gas & Electric; the Sacramento Municipal Utility District; Xcel Energy; the California Energy Commission; The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; the Bonneville Power Administration; and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners

In the two years since our last conference on these issues, continuing developments at the state, national, and global levels have served to heighten even further the importance of energy efficiency as a resource. Soaring energy prices, continued concerns over utility system reliability, and the growing awareness of environmental cost risks associated with increasing energy consumption, have all contributed to an unprecedented level of interest in the use of energy efficiency as a strategic resource.

In response, ACEEE is pleased to announce the third National Conference on Energy Efficiency as a Resource. Building upon the two very successful prior conferences in 2001 and 2003, we expect this year's conference to attract over 250 leading energy efficiency professionals, including regulators, planners, administrators, researchers, and program implementers. This will be the premier conference of the year for focusing on the use of energy efficiency as a resource, and will include the most recent developments in the regulatory and policy arenas as well as the latest state and national research results in this field. Specific topics include:

  • Strategies for incorporating Energy Efficiency as part of a utility resource portfolio, in restructured as well as non-restructured states
  • Reliability-Focused" Energy Efficiency, to help address system reliability needs (including T&D)
  • Energy Efficiency as a policy response to 'sky-high' natural gas prices
  • Integration of Demand Response and Energy Efficiency
  • Emerging role of Energy Efficiency in addressing environmental objectives

In addition to a full program of presentations by leading national experts, more time will be available for networking at the 2005 conference. A specific time period and meeting rooms will be available to host informal sessions, to allow for networking, and to enable further discussion and follow-up on topics presented in the formal sessions.
