Electric companies are committed to investing in a clean energy future. In 2023, more than 40% of all U.S. power generation came from carbon-free sources like nuclear, hydropower, wind, and solar energy. Carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation have been declining for the last decade and were 41 percent below 2005 levels at the end of 2023. Wind and solar energy accounted for 67 percent of all electricity capacity additions in the United States in 2023.

This factsheet uses the most recent data to identify the top 10 trends in energy efficiency (EE) in the electric power industry through 2022. For instance, EE programs saved 241 TWh of electricity in 2022 and saved enough electricity to power 33 million U.S. homes for one year.

On November 8, 2023 IEI hosted an executive dialogue featuring a discussion between Brian D’Agostino of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Ryan Gerbrandt of Anterix. The discussion focused on how SDG&E is leveraging Anterix's technology to advance comprehensive wildfire prevention, preparedness, and response strategies.
