Utilities implement and administer energy efficiency programs which help consumers reduce energy use. Programs often provide technical resources and assistance to help customers identify which energy efficiency measures will have the biggest impact, and then provide rebates or incentives to pay a portion of the cost of energy efficiency measures. Commonly, a utility will contract with private companies to provide energy services, such as auditing and installation of energy efficiency equipment and appliances. Rebates are usually offered for highly energy-efficient equipment such as air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, and lighting and for home and commercial building retrofits, such as improving insulation to increase energy savings. For example, testing and sealing heating and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts may qualify for a rebate of up to $400. Many high-efficiency appliances are also eligible for rebates; a high-efficiency furnace might qualify for a rebate of around $300 while an Energy Star rated dishwasher might be eligible for a $50 rebate. Rebate programs vary by utility but are generally an effective way of achieving residential energy savings. Low-interest loans may also be incorporated to help end-users afford high-efficiency equipment and retrofits. Some utilities also provide incentives to distributors and suppliers for stocking high-efficiency products, and negotiate purchase price buy-downs for efficient equipment, such as CFL bulbs, with suppliers and retailers. Other programs promote efficient new buildings (encouraging energy improvements that exceed building code requirements) and industrial process improvements. Sometimes the efficiency gains from combined heat and power (CHP) systems and other high-efficiency distributed generation systems savings may be used to meet the established savings targets. Savings from CHP systems are credited to the extent energy is saved relative to conventional power generation of power and steam. Distribution system efficiency improvements can also count toward the savings target goal. Possible improvements include improved transformers and voltage controls or new conductors and wires that lower energy losses. Savings from adoption of improved building codes and appliance standards may also be counted toward the targets if the utility played a significant role in achieving the savings (ACEEE 2009). As of October 2009, twenty states had an EERS in place, as shown on the map below, while several others were actively considering similar policies. States such as Texas, Vermont, California, Connecticut, and Nevada, which have had an EERS in place for several years, have already realized significant energy savings. For more information about individual state programs, visit ACEEE’s State Energy Efficiency Policy Database at www.aceee.org/energy/state. In the last year there have been several concerted efforts to establish a federal EERS, which would set a national goal for utility energy savings. In July 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed energy legislation which called for between 5-8% energy savings by 2020.
