ACEEE Utilities Program

The ACEEE Utilities Program works with policymakers, regulators, utilities and other interested parties to advance the use of cost-effective energy efficiency as a utility system resource. We conduct research, disseminate information, and assist with the design and implementation of utility-sector energy efficiency policies and programs.

Energy Efficiency as a Resource We conduct research and disseminate information regarding the use of energy efficiency as a utility system resource.	Exemplary Energy Efficiency Programs We periodically conduct a national search to identify and publicly recognize exemplary energy efficiency programs from around the country. Program profiles are then posted.
Regulatory Policy We provide research and technical assistance to facilitate regulatory policies to enable and encourage utilities to develop energy efficiency programs.	Reports, Publications, and Presentations View a complete list of Utilities Program research reports and recent presentations given by Utilities Program staff.
Energy Efficiency Scorecards and Tracking We regularly monitor and track utility-sector energy efficiency policies and activity around the nation and publish comparative state-by-state data summaries.

ACEEE Utilities Program

Utility-sector energy efficiency programs save electricity and natural gas at half the cost of new energy supplies. Energy efficiency must become the “first fuel” of our utility systems.
