“Opponents of energy efficiency often make the claim that the only people who benefit from utility energy efficiency programs are program participants. Any energy efficiency improvements those participants are making, they argue, are simply being subsidized by non-participants. Our study finds that is not true; all utility system customers benefit from energy efficiency investment,” writes Brendon Baatz.
ACEEE’s new report, Everyone Benefits: Practices and Recommendations for Utility-System Benefits of Energy Efficiency, explores the wide range of advantages energy efficiency programs provide to the utility system as a whole and to all customers in that system.
