Overview
This grant to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy would serve two purposes, both directed toward increasing utility-based efficiency work. First, through a partnership with the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, a fellow Hewlett grantee, the Council will prepare a study aimed at encouraging western states and key utilities to increase energy efficiency programs. Second, the Council will provide technical support to new Hewlett Foundation grantees working on utility-scale efficiency programs in the southeastern United States, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and the Southeast Energy Efficiency Association. The Southeast is home to three of the five largest coal-powered utilities in the United States; megawatts saved in this region would result in higher carbon savings than in less fossil intensive regions.

Grants to this Grantee
for the State Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance project
This grant to the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy is directed toward increasing utility-based efficiency work. It would provide technical assistance to advocates in Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia where energy efficiency efforts are lagging to achieve energy efficiency savings of 10 percent by 2020.
