The Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) is hosting an in-depth briefing this Tuesday on a new report examining the potential for electric utility energy efficiency programs in Arizona and the greater southwest.
The briefing will be presented by SWEEP Executive Director Howard Geller and will discuss SWEEP's latest report, "The $20 Billion Bonanza: Best Practice Energy Efficiency for the Southwest." This report found that utility energy efficiency programs could produce economic benefits of $20 billion for six southwestern states. The briefing is ideal for energy decision makers, utilities, energy stakeholders, utility customers and customer representatives, and those invested in Arizona's energy future.
