The State Energy Efficiency Scorecard, now in its 16th edition, ranks the 50 states and DC on their policies and programs to advance energy efficiency. Amid rising energy costs, many states are recognizing energy efficiency’s important role in making energy more affordable and helping families and businesses reduce costs. But most additional energy efficiency investments since the 2022 scorecard are in just a few states, and the vast majority of states need to do more to harness energy efficiency to help families cut costs. The scorecard captures the latest policy developments and state efforts to save energy and highlights opportunities available to governors, state legislators, and utility regulators.
The top finishers in the 2025 scorecard are California, Massachusetts, and New York, with Maryland and Vermont tied for fourth place. Colorado, Louisiana, and New Jersey are among the most improved states since the last scorecard.
