Improving energy efficiency in our homes, businesses and industries reduces energy costs, creates jobs and improves the environment. The industry faces soaring power plant construction costs, high and volatile fuel costs, growing concerns about system reliability, and increasing calls for action to address global warming. Many states have now established aggressive energy savings goals, pushing programs to achieve and sustain unprecedented savings. With these new requirements and goals come a variety of new challenges.
