Electric & Gas Energy Efficiency Programs and Savings
The level of savings on utility sector efficiency programs is a major indicator of the level of investment in efficiency in a jurisdiction. Local jurisdictions have varying levels of control over utility savings on efficiency.
This sub-category includes information on three topics: Most recent year net incremental electric savings as a result of efficiency programs in energy units (MWh) and as a percentage of retail sales; Most recent year net incremental natural gas savings as a result of efficiency programs in energy units (MMTherms) and as a percentage of retail sales; Formal and/or information partnership of local jurisdiction of and/or with electric and/or natural gas utility on efficiency programs.
