The Energy-Efficiency Program Industry

Together, U.S. and Canadian energy efficiency budgets topped $3.7 billion in 2007, as explained in the CEE's new publication, Energy Efficiency Programs: A $3.7 Billion U.S. and Canadian Industry.

CEE has captured even more information about U.S. and Canadian efficiency budgets and CEE members' program impacts than is shown in the 2007 report. These pages include links to detailed information about state energy-efficiency budgets and savings impacts of member programs. Energy efficiency can make utilities and businesses more profitable -- while saving money for end-users and reducing harmful emissions.

Acknowledgements

CEE is grateful to all the program administrators, both members and nonmembers, that shared information for this report. CEE owes special thanks to Natural Resources Canada, the Canadian Electricity Association and the Canadian Gas Association for rounding up data on nonmember Canadian program administrators, as well as to the CEE Evaluation Committee for providing guidance on data collection and reporting. In addition, CEE also thanks the American Public Power Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association for their insight into municipal and cooperative data, and the Energy Programs Consortium, Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, and the California Public Utilities Commission for their insight.

RELATIONSHIP OF CEE DATA TO EIA DATA CEE bases its data collection request on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) form EIA-861. CEE's information differs from the data on energy efficiency published by the EIA in the following ways:

Timeliness. CEE budget data for the current year are published on the CEE Web site in fall of that year. At the same time, impacts data are published for the previous year. (Note that in both cases, these figures are estimates.)

Reliability . CEE works with the staff of each reporting organization to ensure that the data supplied are categorized in ways consistent with other reporting organizations. Impacts data in particular are calculated many different ways; CEE staff work with members to ensure that data definitions are interpreted the same way by each organization and that the impacts are data reported consistently across all organizations.

Transparency. All CEE budget data are fully referenced with sources and dates of contact. Footnotes highlight any remaining inconsistencies in the way particular states aggregate and report data.

Scope. CEE reports impacts data for its members only. Thus, the budget and impacts data cannot be used together to compare cost-effectiveness of programs across states.
