Save Energy Now State and Utility Partnerships FY 2009 Annual Report Now Available

October 26, 2009

The recently published Save Energy Now State and Utility Partnerships FY 2009 Annual Report is now available here. The Report outlines the structure, goals, activities, and achievements of state and utility partnerships since their inception, as well as future partnership objectives. The Report also provides a current snapshot of U.S. industry and the key opportunities for efficiency improvement through strategic Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) outreach and partnership support.

The Save Energy Now State and Utility Partnerships program is a cornerstone of ITP’s Partnership Development and Deployment Team efforts to share tools and resources with an ever-broadening audience. Partnerships help ITP better target and refine its tools and messages to improve industrial efficiency and put the necessary resources in the hands of those with existing relationships with industrial manufacturers.

This Report offers insights into the knowledge and benefits that ITP has gained from expanded and strengthened state and utility partnerships, as well as the challenges that the program and its partners face in further implementing energy efficiency.

This is the inaugural Save Energy Now State and Utility Partnerships Annual Report. Going forward, this document will be produced on an annual basis and will be available on the Save Energy Now State and Utilities Partnership Web sites: www.eere.energy.gov/industry/states and www.eere.energy.gov/industry/utilities. The Report showcases the extensive, valuable tools and resources available to ITP partners.
