Speaking to participants of the Asia Pacific Research Center's Peer Review on Energy Efficiency, Castelli offered a status update on energy efficiency in the U.S., and the ways that energy efficiency programs are financed, monitored and measured there. After briefing the audience on the history of energy legislation in the U.S., Castelli introduced them to the energy efficiency provisions of the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

33. Policy Tools: Utility DSM Programs Pre capita spending on utility energy efficiency (excludes load management)
34. States with EERS HI: Public utilities to provide 20% of their electricity from eligible renewable sources, including EE by 2020. TX: Offset 20% of load growth through end-use EE. Targets of 30% and 50% are being investigated as potential options for the future. VT: Goals met: 5% by 2006 and 3.5% of 2006 sales. CA: Energy savings between 2004 and 2013 should save 1% of total forecast electricity sales each year. PA: Qualified power sources, including EE in Tier II, to provide 18.5% of electricity by 2020. CT: Minimum 1% of electricity sales from distributed generation or EE in 2007, 2% in 2008, 3% in 2009 and 4% in 2010. NV: EE can meet up to 25% of the state’s 20% renewable portfolio standard. CO: Xcel Energy will achieve 0.38% electricity savings by 2013. WA: utilities to acquire all cost effective energy efficiency. VA: 10% energy savings target by 2022. IL: Yearly savings of 0.2% of energy delivered in 2008, 0.4% in 2009, rising to 2.0% annually for 2015 and subsequent years. NC: Combination of EE and renewable energy goals of 3% of prior-year electricity sales in 2012; 6% in 2015; 10% in 2018, and; 12.5% in 2021 and thereafter. MN: 1.5% annual energy savings from electric and NG sales, 1% of which must come from EE.
