This year's Great Energy Efficiency Day (GEED), focusing on "The Role of Energy Efficiency in an Integrated Grid", will convene leaders from across the country and sectors to discuss the critical role of energy efficiency in an integrated grid, featuring keynote remarks and panel topics that address utilities of the future, financing and the built environment.
Launched in 2004, GEED has become a “must attend” public discussion on the need for, and benefits of, energy efficiency. Each year the event draws stakeholders from business, industry, government and academia to offer their unique industry perspectives.
