What We Believe
NEEP's vision is that the Northeast region will wholly embrace energy efficiency policies and programs as a cornerstone of a sustainable energy policy, a vibrant economy, and a healthy environment for people to live and work in, as well as being a role model for energy efficiency nationally.
What We Do
NEEP's Regional Initiatives facilitate the regional coordination of ratepayer-funded efficiency programs to overcome market barriers and increase the adoption of energy efficient products and services in Northeast markets. These Initiatives serve administrators of gas and electric energy efficiency programs in Northeast states.
NEEP's Public Policy Projects develop and maintain a positive environment for public policies and programs that promote energy efficiency in Northeast states. As a non-lobbying, non-litigant organization, NEEP encourages states to adopt energy efficiency policies and continue ratepayer-funded efficiency programs.
NEEP's Regional Evaluation, Measurement and Verification Forum assists Northeast states to implement demand side resource policies and programs through the development and use of common or consistent protocols that estimate, track and report energy and demand savings, and their related costs and air emissions impacts.
NEEP annually convenes the region's premier energy efficiency event the Northeast Energy Efficiency Summit . Each year, this combined conference, exhibition and celebratory luncheon brings together hundreds of policy makers, efficiency program administrators, environmental and air regulators and advocates to examine energy efficiency issues in the Northeast.
