How Did the National Action Plan Get Started and How Were Members of the Leadership Group Chosen?
Across the nation, utilities, regulators, and others have been showing more and more interest in energy efficiency. Everyone is interested in energy efficiency for different reasons, such as trying to reduce energy prices, protecting the environment, and providing programs that customers want. The U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency invited many of these people to join the Leadership Group. The people and organizations that were invited have been successful in promoting and adopting energy efficiency in the past, and they each provide different ideas and represent different regions of the country.
