States awaiting stimulus funds will be pleased to know that when it comes to funding energy efficiency programs, their dollars will go far. Drastically reduced energy consumption and immediate job growth are just some of the benefits that effective policies and programs can bring, particularly to the Appalachian region, which has the highest energy consumption in the country. Kateri Callahan presented these findings to the annual Charlotte Regional Partnership Investors Board in Charlotte, N.C., where already progressive energy efficiency policies and programs are taking root. Callahan also briefed the audience of investors and board members on the climate and energy bills moving through Congress.

 Why Energy Efficiency? Why Now?
 Policy: Tapping the Full Potential of Energy
Efficiency
 Regional/State Leadership: Building Green
Economies One by One
 Forecast for the Future: Energy Efficiency as
the Foundation of a New, Green Economy

3. What is the
Alliance to Save Energy?
Alli t S E ?
 A unique NGO formed and still led by Members of Congress
 Guided by a 37-Member, Elected Board of Directors
- Led by Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) and Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy
- Includes 9 Members of Congress – Bi-Cameral; Bi-Partisan
- Also includes environmental, consumer, and trade associations heads, state
and local policy makers, corporate executives

4. Forging Alliances:
Business, Govt. & Public Interests
i bli
 Sponsorship and participation of more than 160 organizations
 Involvement by businesses in all economic sectors
 Initiatives underway in research, policy advocacy, education, technology
deployment, and communications

 85% of US GHG emissions covered
- Could be higher
 Covered emissions reduced 83% in 2050
 Defend and protect the cap!

31. ACES:
Goals for E
G l f Energy Efficiency
Effi i
Policies will no longer save more energy
energy.
Instead they will—
 Reduce cost of meeting carbon cap by
 Addressing market barriers, especially
g , p y
among energy end-users

32. ACES: EE Programs
 Complementary EE policies
 Codes, standards, building labeling, electric efficiency
resource standards; authorizations; financing mechanisms
 Complementary Programs
- EE in WM is 3-6% of allowance value
 $81 t $167b over 2012 2050
to 2012-2050
- 12.5% of allowance value could get
 Allowance prices 10% lower
p
 Electric, nat gas and petrol prices 1-3% lower
 Electric and natural gas demand 3-7% lower
according to EPA analysis April 20

33. Climate Outlook in Senate
 Senate EPW to release draft in September
 At least six other committees have jurisdiction
over climate legislation; Senator Reid has
asked these Committees to conclude
deliberations by Sept 18
Sept.
 Majority Leader Reid wants to bring
comprehensive bill to the floor in the fall; we
are hearing October for floor action
