ACEEE: Carrots for Utilities: Providing Financial Returns for Utility Investments in Energy Efficiency
ACEEE investigates programs instituted by investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to help customers reduce their energy usage.
1/25/2011
While many businesses and other entities are increasingly concerned with limiting energy consumption, there are two major hurdles to improving energy efficiency among IOUs: the ultimate lessening of utility revenues and a disinterest in spending money to improve efficiency versus investing in new facilities and equipment.
The report's key findings can serve as a resource for policymakers, regulators, utilities, and other entities. In a key finding, ACEEE says states favor incentives based on cost-effective achievement of energy targets. Utilities have tended to consistently meet or exceed established targets.
