Goals

The Board of Directors of the Edison Foundation established the Institute for Electric Efficiency (IEE) 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.

Recognizing energy efficiency’s role in addressing climate change and in moderating the expected growth in electricity demand, IEE was created to focus on accelerating the industry’s energy-efficiency efforts and increasing the industry’s energy-efficiency investments.

IEE serves electric utilities, electricity customers, and energy policymakers across the country as a clearinghouse and resource for information, best practices, and innovation. Specifically, the Institute acts as a forum to:

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

Governance

IEE is a program of the Edison Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and is governed by a Management Committee of electric industry executives. IEE has a permanent Advisory Committee comprising representatives from the efficiency community, federal and state government agencies, and other informed stakeholders. IEE also has established a Strategy Committee comprising senior electric industry executives that identify strategies and projects for IEE.
