Call for Proposals
Be a part of the nation's premier conference on energy efficiency as a utility resource!
We invite dynamic speakers to submit presentation proposals highlighting impactful strategies, policies, programs, and technologies in energy efficiency. Proposals should align with these topics of interest:
- Strategies, policies, and program designs for energy efficiency as a utility resource
- Energy efficiency for improving energy affordability
- Energy efficiency’s role in supporting grid reliability and resilience
- How efficiency and demand flexibility can help utilities address rapid load growth
Your proposal for a conference break-out presentation should be no more than 250 words and relate to one or more of the following conference tracks:
1. Energy Efficiency / Demand Flexibly to Meet Utility Energy and Capacity Resource Needs
- Policies and examples of meeting aggressive demand growth with energy efficiency through resource planning and procurement
- Innovative policies, practices and partnerships to leverage energy efficiency to meet pollution reduction goals (local, state, and/or private)
- Regulatory mechanisms and utility business models for energy efficiency as a resource, including in wholesale markets
2. Energy efficiency programs
- Examples of highly effective energy efficiency and demand flexibility programs (including for income-eligible, residential, commercial, and industrial customers)
- Expanded elements and objectives for energy efficiency and demand flexibility programs
- Improved energy affordability
- Upgrading to efficient electric appliances
- Demand flexibility (virtual power plants, grid-interactive efficient buildings, integrated demand response, capacity reduction)
3. Data, evaluation, and analysis
- Evaluating the multiple benefits of energy efficiency (e.g. energy equity, economic recovery, affordability, jobs, health, resilience, environmental improvement, and reliability)
- Advanced metrics for utility energy efficiency programs to meet contemporary policy priorities (rationale, analytic approaches and metrics, policy examples, and initial results)
4. Technology and Innovation
- Role of energy efficiency with other distributed energy resources (e.g., integrated DER programs, grid-interactive efficient buildings, net-zero buildings)
- Energy efficiency applications for rapidly growing large loads such as data centers, manufacturing, and upgrading to efficient electric appliances and heat processes
- Advances in energy-efficient technologies for next-generation utility programs
- Harnessing AI to identify and capture new efficiency savings opportunities
Submit your proposal here. The submission deadline is April 18, 2025.
Note: All program presenters are required to register and pay the speaker/moderator registration fee of $875. Also please note that proposals are for presentations only. ACEEE will not be requiring and publishing conference papers.
