President Biden has proposed an Energy Efficiency and Clean Electricity Standard (EECES), yet in congressional discussions about including clean electricity policy in a budget reconciliation bill, the “EE” sometimes gets lost. We developed and analyzed the specifics of how efficiency could be included, finding that over the lifetime of measures, including an efficiency standard could save consumers about $160 billion while reducing U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by 1400-2400 MMT (depending on how clean the U.S. power grid becomes).
Expanded utility-funded energy efficiency programs can significantly slow rising electricity demand and reduce electricity bills; this report explains how.
Utility energy efficiency programs have increased investment in low-income households, but significant gaps remain. This report examines spending and savings trends across 48 major U.S. utilities, identifies barriers to expanding low-income programs and highlights policies and program strategies that can improve energy affordability and equitable access to efficiency upgrades.
This report identifies pathways for India’s cement industry to decarbonise at a pace compatible with the national climate goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.
The United States faces interlocking energy challenges: rising home energy bills and gasoline prices; new demand for electricity from data centers and other loads; high greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Now, a new era of energy efficiency progress in our buildings, transportation, and industry is needed to meet this moment. This wide-ranging study finds a massive opportunity.
ACEEE’s independent research and advocacy depend on the support of foundations, businesses, and individuals committed to cutting energy bills, waste, and climate pollution.
