Why Energy Efficiency?Energy Efficiency is an Energy Resource:

CHEAPER• Utility cost of saved energy through EE is on average 2.5 cents/kWh less than

conventional supply-side energy sources (ACEEE – National Review of the Cost of Energy Saved through Utility-Sector Energy Efficiency Programs – Sept. 2009)

QUICKER• Maryland cut per capita electricity use by @ 4% in 2011, staying ahead of goal

to reduce by 15% per capita energy consumption/peak demand by 2015 (www.statestat.maryland.gov/gduconservation.asp)

CLEANER• Produces NO ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

MORE SECURE• Energy efficiency is a “homegrown” resource

Quiet History of Huge Success!
