In addition to the budget data, CEE also collected information about the impacts of CEE's U.S. member programs in 2005. To protect confidentiality, the results have been aggregated by region.
Notes, caveats and sources for the savings impacts data
The following tables are available:
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DATA
In 2005, consumers saved more than $35 billion from CEE's U.S. member programs.
- The average retail value of the electric energy savings from CEE members' programs in 2005 totals $35.2 billion ($13.4 billion for residential ratepayers and $21.8 billion for commercial and industrial ratepayers). For details, see Table 5.
- The average retail value of the gas savings from CEE members' programs in 2005 totals $212.3 million ($159.4 million for residential ratepayers and $52.9 million for commercial and industrial ratepayers). For details, see Table 6.

In 2005, electric and gas programs of CEE's U.S. members kept more than 30.3 million metric tons of CO2 from being emitted.
This is equivalent to
- Taking 6.6 million passenger cars off the road for one year, or
- A year's worth of carbon dioxide storage from 25 million acres of pine or fir forests.

In 2005, CEE's U.S. member programs resulted in electricity savings of 47,384 GWh.This is more than 1 percent of all U.S. electricity consumption in 2005, and slightly more than the total residential electricity consumption of New York State in 2004. For details, see Table 5.
In 2005, CEE's U.S. member programs resulted in gas savings of 161 million therms. Gas programs are just beginning to grow, yet they saved an amount equal to almost one-tenth of one percent of all U.S. natural gas consumption in 2005. For details, see Table 6.
