Alliance Launches a New National Utility Initiative

The Clean and Efficient Energy Program for public power (CEEP) is a new 3-year nationwide initiative promoting investment in energy efficiency and clean energy by publicly-owned utilities.

CEEP intends to package and distill existing best practice and case study resources into modular “toolkits” for public power managers. In addition to vetting already available resources for their relevance to public power, CEEP will develop targeted information; provide access to public power energy efficiency program experts; and encourage peer-exchange. CEEP also will offer turnkey program models and downloadable template materials, so that public power utilities can quickly implement market-tested activities. CEEP resources will be deployed through regional workshops, and participating program managers will have access to ongoing CEEP technical and program administration assistance.

If you are in DC, consider joining executives from the Alliance to Save Energy, American Public Power Association and Large Public Power Council at the public launch Monday, February 23, 2009 from 3:15 -3:30pm in the Georgia Room of the Mayflower Hotel, located on 1127 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036.

CEEP founding partners include the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE), American Public Power Association (APPA), and the Large Public Power Council (LPPC). The initiative is currently funded in part by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
