Goals

In November 2007, the Board of Directors of the Edison Foundation established the Institute for Electric Efficiency to intensify the nation’s efforts to become more efficient and to increase public awareness of and participation in electric utility energy-efficiency programs, products, and services.

The Institute will serve electric utilities, electricity customers, and energy policymakers across the country as a clearinghouse and resource for information and innovation. Specifically, the Institute will act as a forum to:

• Promote energy-efficiency practices among electric utilities;
• Promote the sharing of information, ideas, and experiences in energy efficiency in the power sector;
• Develop a resource base of effective business models and options.

Membership

Membership in the Institute for Electric Efficiency is open to all electric utilities, including investor-owned utilities, public power utilities, electric cooperatives, and foreign utilities.

America’s electric utilities are leaders in promoting energy-efficiency programs, products, and services to help their customers. And these are making a difference. Yet, there is much more work to be done and a vast, untapped potential for realizing energy savings and efficiency.

The Institute for Electric Efficiency is committed to further promoting and expanding energy-efficiency solutions. Working together through the Institute, utilities can help the United States lead the way on electric efficiency.
