Suzanne Watson
Policy Director
The American Council for an EnergyEfficient Economy (ACEEE)
Nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to advancing energy efficiency through
research, communications, and conferences.
~40 staff in Washington DC, + field offices in DE, IL, MI, and WI.
Focus on End-Use Efficiency in Industry, Buildings, Utilities, and
Transportation; Economic Analysis & Human Behavior; and State
& National Policy
Funding:
• Foundations (34%)
• Federal & State Grants (7%)
• Specific Contract work (21%)
• Conferences and Publications (34%)
• Contributions and Other (4%)

ACEEE State EE Policy Overview
Four coordinated elements:
• State Clean Energy Resource Project
(SCERP): Prepare 3-4 state energy
efficiency potential studies per year
• Annual State Energy Efficiency Scorecard
• State Energy Efficiency Policy Database on
the Web
• Follow-up technical assistance
See: http://aceee.org/energy/state/resources.htm
State Energy Efficiency Scorecard
• ACEEE state-based scorecards on
utility-sector efficiency spending and
energy savings: 2000, 2002, and 2005
• Expanded to more comprehensive
assessment of 8 state efficiency policy
areas: 2007 and 2008 editions funded by
U.S. EPA and DOE
• Goal to continue to refine, expand
Scorecard for annual production

Potential Economic Impacts of the
Implementation of EE Policies in
VA
• $26 billion cumulative gross consumer savings
on electric bills by 2025 (on $220 billion in
electric bills in B.A.U.)
• $11 billion cumulative energy efficiency
investments through 2025
• $15 billion cumulative net consumer savings
on electric bills by 2025

Upcoming Projects for EE in the SE
North Carolina - assessment of energy
efficiency policy opportunities; focus on
transportation and water efficiency
South Carolina - study on electricity
energy efficiency and water EE
opportunities
Possible future studies/technical
assistance: Tennessee and Arkansas

Considerations…
 Energy efficiency has emerged as a key policy
issue at the state level – why?
 Cheapest, fastest, cleanest resource
 Southeast is behind the rest of the country on
EE efforts == major low hanging fruit
 States are stepping up – still waiting on some
including the federal government
 SC - poised to move to the next level?
