State Clean Energy Resource Project (SCERP)

The State Clean Energy Resource Project (SCERP) serves as a kind of national “geological survey” of efficiency and renewable resources. It is a center for information and expertise that facilitates clean energy policy adoption and implementation at the state level. While the scope will be nation-wide, the initial focus will be on those states without clean energy policies, but poised to consider a sustainable energy future. By drawing together key experts and analytical capabilities in a focused effort, this project supports more clean energy policy initiatives in a more timely manner with better-quality, greater-credible, and more extensive data than has ever been applied to these challenges in the past. It also serves as an independent, unbiased resource to support the implementation of the policies at a state level. Funding for SCERP is provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Energy Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and additional state foundations.

See Efficiency in Action: ACEEE and State Energy Policy for an overview of past SCERP projects and the resulting state accomplishments.
