Making It Count: Case Studies in Valuing Energy Efficiency Financing Programs

In recent years, energy efficiency financing strategies have gained prominence in a number of leading jurisdictions.  In some cases, loan volumes have grown to sizes that have attracted increased attention, while in others, policymakers have considered a shift toward financing and away from traditional program strategies as a potential means of minimizing program costs and achieving big-picture policy goals.  These developments point toward the importance of understanding the impact and potential of energy efficiency financing strategies. 

Please join us for a webinar on a recent report from the State and Local Energy Efficiency Action Network, Making It Count: Understanding the Value of Energy Efficiency Financing Programs Funded by Utility Customers.  Chuck Goldman of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will moderate a panel that will include:

Deana Carrillo, Executive Director, California Alternative Energy & Advanced Transportation Authority (CAEATFA)

Bryan Garcia, President & CEO, Connecticut Green Bank

Andrew Brydges, Director, Institutional Programs, Connecticut Green Bank

The speakers will discuss approaches in their jurisdictions toward understanding the value of energy efficiency financing programs.

The webinar will cover:

Financing programs in a regulatory context

Adapting traditional EE regulatory planning, evaluation, and performance tools to the unique aspects of EE financing

Tools and concepts for evaluating the impact of energy efficiency financing programs from multiple perspectives (e.g. resource acquisition, market transformation)

This series is brought to you by the State and Local Energy Efficiency Action Network (SEE Action), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and the Yale Center for Business and the Environment.
