The 15th edition of the ACEEE State Energy Efficiency Scorecard provides an update on state energy efficiency policies and programs that save energy, advance equity, and produce environmental and economic benefits.
The scorecard ranks states in six policy areas: utility programs, transportation, building energy codes, state initiatives, industrial energy efficiency, and appliance standards. This year’s scorecard has an expanded focus on equitable energy efficiency policies that reduce energy burdens for low-income and disadvantaged households and historically underserved communities.
