RENEWABLE ENERGY
“Energy efficiency is using
technology that requires
less energy to perform the
same function”U.S. Energy Information Administration
Energy Efficiency
6
The cheapest energy is the
energy you don’t use
it is as easy as:
choosing a qualified
LED bulb
choosing a
qualified smart
thermostat
Benefits of Energy Efficiency
7
Energy efficiency (EE) helps reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and mitigate climate impacts, which
improves health conditions
EE projects lower energy costs, especially for low-
to moderate-income participants overburdened
by energy bills
EE projects are labor intensive so increased EE projects
strengthen the job market
EE projects reduce energy use that can reduce energy
bills for customers and allow them to reinject the funds
into the economy
EE projects are designed to increase long term comfort
and safety
EE projects are one of the easiest and cheapest resources against the global climate crisis
Benefits of Energy Efficiency (cont’d)

Energy Efficiency Incentives
9
Choose energy efficient
equipment
Submit application &
receive an incentive to
offset the cost
Use equipment Enjoy a lower utility bill,
healthier air, and climate
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Energy Savings are delivered
through electric, gas, oil, other
efficiencies and generation
