Southeast Regional Meeting

June 23, 2011 - Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, 2100 West End Ave., Nashville, TN

Investing in a Clean Energy Future Starts with Energy Efficiency: The Southeastern States Stake a Claim in the Race to be Green and Energy Efficient

The Southeastern states have started working toward a clean energy future that will create thousands of jobs. Severe budget constraints have begun to transform regional attitudes about energy efficiency. At least some regulators and utilities have come to recognize that energy efficiency resources are the cheapest "fuel" to use in creating a cost-effective energy portfolio and an effective way for building owners and managers to cut operating costs. The impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding in the region is one significant part of the overall push to transform the region*s economy through clean energy technologies, practices, and programs.

This workshop will both provide a snapshot of the current energy efficiency marketplace in the region and highlight the changing market forces. The sessions will look at the new opportunities for the industry to educate customers about the value of ESCO delivered projects as the fastest, cleanest and cheapest way to reduce energy use. It will also provide potential customers with enough information to better understand the multiple economic benefits of implementing an aggressive energy efficiency strategy in their facilities.
