    State policy makers and regulators need to consider the costs and potential problems when the shareholders of energy utilities are allowed to earn financial rewards as incentives for achieving energy efficiency goals. The basic premise of a shareholder incentive mechanism is that regulated...

    Over the past several years, interest has grown in programs aimed at changing behaviors or business practices that affect energy consumption. There are, however, few documented examples of programs that actually achieve energy savings, especially within the Northwest's industrial sector....

    According to prevailing scientific opinion, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are contributing to the changing of the Earth's climate. The daily conversion of fossil fuels to usable forms of energy-namely heat, steam, and electricity-produces as a byproduct, high levels of CO2, which is the most...

    As the Department of Energy moves into the next phase of its Save Energy Now campaign, states, too, are revisiting, revising, and re-invigorating their own industrial energy efficiency strategies and programs-often spurred by state-wide climate action plans. In this paper, we present the recent...

    Economic development is a critical issue and tool for local political and economic leaders. At the same time, the effectiveness of traditional development tools have become diluted as increasing numbers of groups have expanded their efforts to attract new facilities, employers, and investment...

    The opportunity is growing for industrial customers to "opt out" of paying into publicly funded energy efficiency programs and "self-direct" those funds into energy savings. As more states develop publicly funded energy efficiency programs, advocates from the industrial sector...

    For industry, and especially for large energy-consuming industries, energy prices and environmental constraints are the main drivers towards energy efficiency. By this time, many energy efficiency technologies exist on the market and some technological breakthrough processes (e.g. based on Carbon...

    In the Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive of the EU (ESD), Long- Term Agreements (LTAs) are mentioned as a tool to achieve energy efficiency and CO2 reduction. The Netherlands has 15 years experience with this instrument, which primarily targets industry. In order to promote...

    In the province of Ontario, industrial customers account for approximately one third of total electricity energy consumption in the province and one quarter of coincident peak demand amounting to an expected 6,000 Mega-Watts (MW) of industrial peak demand by the end of 2010. A group of less than...

    Combined heat and power systems and power recovered from waste energy can represent important contributions to meeting an Energy Efficiency Resource Standard and complying with carbon reduction policies. In order for these resources to be credited towards such targets, a consistent methodology to...
