The document summarizes a presentation by Kateri Callahan, President of the Alliance to Save Energy, about the potential for increased energy efficiency. The Alliance is a nonprofit organization that works with public and private sectors to promote energy efficiency. Callahan discusses how energy efficiency has quietly achieved success in reducing costs and emissions. New "game changers" like climate change, energy security concerns, and economic savings create opportunities for much greater efficiency gains. Leadership from companies like Walmart and utilities investing more in efficiency show the enormous untapped potential. Public policy support for efficiency standards, codes, and financing can help efficiency "roar" in the coming decade to address energy and climate challenges.

2. Presentation OverviewAbout the AllianceA Quiet History of Huge SuccessGame Changers: Setting the Stage for the Decade of Energy EfficiencyReady to Roar: Energy Efficiency as the “First Fuel”

3. What is the Alliance to Save Energy? Non-profit organization headquartered in U.S.; operations world-wide

4. Led by Senator Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) and Peter Darbee, President and CEO of Pacific Gas and Electric

5. Includes 10 Members of Congress – Bi-Cameral; Bi-Partisan

7. Associates Program membership represents all economic sectors

8. Initiatives underway in research, policy advocacy, education, technology deployment, market transformation and communicationsA Quiet History of Success

9. Game Changers: Global Imperatives…Climate Change: Energy use directly linked to GHG emissions..the U.S. example:Security:Unchecked growth in energy demand can:

10. Accelerate fossil fuel depletion

11. Increase our reliance on foreign sources of energy

12. Economy:

13. Energy waste comes at high costs: “Business as usual” energy use will waste more than $1.2 trillion in the U.S. between now and 2020 in the U.S. alone – and this does not include transportation energy consumption!Source: McKinsey Global InstituteGame Changers: Understanding the Enormous Potential for Savings……

14. Game Changers: Leadership by ExampleThrough energy efficiency alone, Walmart......is saving 250 million kwh/year in the U.S. (enough to power 23,000 homes)

15. …has reduced energy load by approximately 15-20% Learning Resulted in New Sustainability Goals:- Reduce GHG emissions at existing stores 20% by 2012- Long-term: 100% powered by renewable energy- Zero-waste operations- Sustainable product selection- Sustainability/efficiency criteria for supplies and vendors around the worldEE technologies are helping Walmart get there NOW:- Daylighting- Efficient HVAC- White Roofs- Lighting RetrofitsFuel efficient vehicles…and more!Game Changers: Leadership by Example Since 1994:Energy intensity reduced by 22% (Btu/pound of product)1,600 trillion Btu saved  Prevented 86 million metric tons of CO2 from entering atmosphere$5 billion in energy savings achievedEquivalent to the electricity needed to power all the residential homes in California for one year!

16. Game Changers:Increasing Utility Sector InvestmentSource: Consortium for Energy Efficiency, 2009 Annual Report

17. Game Changers: Federal InvestmentStimulus: $65B Related to Energy EfficiencyFunding in Millions of US Dollars

18. Game Changers: Global Investment EE: THE BEST INVESTMENT ??Global revenues from climate-related businesses rose by 75 percent in 2008 to $530 billionClimate-related business revenue could exceed $2 trillion by 2020 Energy efficiency recorded the highest investment return at 30%GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD SEEM TO THINK SO…Energy efficiency will receive $184 billion (53%) of the $350 billion in global green stimulus funds Source: HSBC Global Research Report, September 2009

19. Requirements to “Roar”: Public Policy InfrastructureTo lock in savings for consumers and businesses

20. To achieve market penetration

21. To gain foothold in marketTo encourage technological innovation
