As part of the government's efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce costs, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today the creation of the State Energy Efficiency (SEE) Action Network. This network is meant to help states achieve maximum cost effective energy efficiency improvements in homes, offices, buildings and industry by 2020.
“Expanding energy efficiency is one of the quickest, most cost-effective ways we can address climate change and grow America’s economy,” said Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
The DOE and EPA will lead the SEE Action Network, and in cooperation with other member organizations, they will help states with their energy efficiency initiatives, including residential efficiency programs, financing solutions, and improving availability of energy usage information.
The new SEE Action Executive Group will meet for the first time in early March. A number of working groups will continue to meet throughout the year to report on specific goals.
