MJB&A Report Benchmarks Electric Utility Energy Efficiency Portfolios

M.J. Bradley & Associates authored a report that examines and compares the energy efficiency expenditures and energy savings of a diverse set of 50 electric utility ratepayer-funded energy efficiency portfolios in the United States, while highlighting the challenges that face this and similar efforts. The report aims to illustrate the importance of energy efficiency as a tool for meeting energy demand, and to create a system to compare utilities based on expenditures and energy savings. The report finds that the selected utilities vary widely in their investment in and savings from energy efficiency programs, and that a strong policy environment encourages investment in energy efficiency. The report was funded by a grant from the Energy Foundation, and is available here.
