As stewards of public and ratepayer funds, CEE members take transparency and credibility in their work together seriously. As program administrators collaborate on assessing the technical, business, and market aspects of each opportunity, they are always mindful of the real goal: reducing energy use in service to greater safety and comfort, grid reliability, environmental stability, equity, and the other benefits energy efficiency brings. Members all contribute to deliberations; then, each decides individually on initiative adoption.

CEE is a consortium primarily of utility efficiency program administrators from across the United States and Canada. Members leverage individual efforts by working together to accelerate energy efficient products and services in targeted markets. We are a nonprofit, governed and funded by members. Our expert Board of Directors, drawn from member organizations, strategizes, scopes, and approves CEE work. CEE staff is headquartered in Massachusetts, researching efficiency opportunities and facilitating member work on committees.

Decarbonization though Energy Efficiency

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to combat climate change, reduce energy costs for consumers, and improve the competitiveness of U.S. businesses.” Working together as CEE, members leverage incredible economies of scale and tactics that have proven some of the most successful ways to decarbonize. These tactics vary across states, provinces and jurisdiction, but include beneficial electrification, integrating control systems, energy assessments, and of course incentives.
