Market Watch
State energy efficiency resource standards (EERS) outline near- and long-term energy use reduction requirements for utilities and third-party program administrators. EERS play an instrumental role in reducing power-sector emissions growth and could help reduce electricity consumption by as much as 10 percent by 2020.
OUTLOOK
States that do not have a history of EERS or incentive programs have a limited window of opportunity to develop and implement the regulatory infrastructure that is be necessary to meet proposed EPA Clean Power Plan 2020 energy efficiency goals.
