State Tracking

States vary widely in their funding and support of utility-sector energy efficiency programs. Certain states and regions enjoy long records of achievement with such programs, while other states have done little or nothing to fund and implement energy efficiency programs. ACEEE’s Utilities Program periodically tracks individual state level funding and impacts for utility-sector energy efficiency programs---both utility and non-utility administered programs. ACEEE’s “Scorecards” and related publications allow ready comparison among state-level efforts and also yield critical data on national status and trends.

Activities

• 50 state survey on administrative structures, funding mechanisms, funding levels, and types of programs offered.
  
  
• Score-Card Reports
  Update on state expenditures and savings from both utility demand-side management and public benefits energy efficiency programs. ACEEE's Utilities Program is working on the 4^th such national update and expects to publish the results in Fall 2007.
