In the past few months, CEE has welcomed five new members, CenterPoint Energy (Minnesota), City Utilities of Springfield (Missouri), Efficiency New Brunswick, Natural Resources Canada and Terasen Gas (British Columbia). CEE now has six Canadian members, 86 overall.

“We are very enthused about joining CEE since this organization is such a reputable clearinghouse for energy-efficiency program information,” said Cara Shaefer, Director of Energy Management & Conservation at City Utilities. “We have already tapped into this vast resource in our program design efforts. We look forward to contributing to CEE in the future.”

In adding three new Canadian members, CEE continues its evolution into a true North American organization.

“Our mandate is to promote energy efficiency measures in all sectors of New Brunswick,” said Elizabeth Weir, President and CEO of Efficiency NB. “Our membership in CEE provides us with access to leading edge energy-efficiency advice and relevant technical expertise. It also affords us the opportunity to learn best practices and properly implement them.”

John Cockburn of the Office of Energy Efficiency at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is impressed by CEE’s information sharing and collaborative activities.

“This will play an important part in moving ahead the market transformation activities of NRCan and its many partners,” he said.
