  1. SOUTHEAST ENERGY EFFICIENCY ALLIANCE EPA Clean & Sustainable Energy Conference December 11, 2007

  2. Who is SEEA? The Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance builds regional partnerships to promote and achieve energy efficiency for a cleaner environment, a more prosperous economy, and a higher quality of life. • Covering 11 southeastern states • 71 million residents

  3. SEEA Participants • State, federal & local governments, electric and natural gas utilities, businesses (energy users and efficiency suppliers), and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) (environment, low income housing, etc.).

  4. SEEA Mission Statement The Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance (SEEA) builds regional partnerships to promote and achieve energy efficiency for a cleaner environment, a more prosperous economy, and a higher quality of life.

  5. Why SEEA? • Per capita electricity consumption in the Southeast is already among the nation’s highest • Level of energy intensity, which is the amount of energy consumed to produce $1 dollar of gross state product, is significantly higher in much of the Southeast compared to the national average • Between 1984 and 2004, GA population grew by 51%, its energy usage rose by 76% and gasoline consumption by 67%. Today GA households use about 25% more electricity than the national average.

  6. Why SEEA? • Electric energy efficiency spending per capita in the Southeast is just one-fifth the national average. • The Southeast region has the lowest levels in the nation for ENERGY STAR market penetration.

  7. What is Needed in the Region • Supportive state policies • Public benefits funds and/or increased utility spending on DSM • Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards • Utility regulatory incentives • Energy efficiency codes and standards • Additional state tax incentives • Regional cooperation • Active private sector involvement • Leadership by Governors and Mayors

  8. “Regional Blueprint” for the Southeast Goal: Energy efficiency will become the most important energy resource in the Southeastwithinthe next 20 years, meeting more than half of new demand growth for electricity and natural gas by 2025. A Few Steps: • Collaborate on a regional “blueprint” to achieve the goal • Create networks to share program & policy ideas • Initiate new programs; expand existing ones • Mobilize political leadership

  9. The Impacts Goal: 50% reduction in projected new consumption in twenty years. Impact and Reductions in the SE: • 39 million MWh of electricity • 39 million tons of CO2 • 129,000 tons of SOx • 57,000 tons of NOx • 858 pounds of Hg

  10. What is SEEA doing? • Modeled on other regional alliances. • Regional champion for energy efficiency. • Creation of EE policy. • Education provider. • Program provider. • Information Clearinghouse. • EE assessment studies.
