 On
behalf of more than 140 Northwest utilities, the Bonneville
Power Administration and the Energy Trust of Oregon, the
Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) has released its
2015 Annual Report.
The report highlights regional accomplishments and results
from the first year of the alliance’s 2015-2019 Business
Plan. Working together, the region accelerated the
development of more than a dozen energy-efficient
technologies, completed the first regional market strategy
for commercial and industrial lighting, and launched the
first regional natural gas market transformation effort in
the country.
“Oregonians are proud of our state’s leadership in energy
efficiency. They join me in congratulating the Northwest
Energy Efficiency Alliance on 20 years of market
transformation to accelerate adoption of energy-efficiency
products, practices, and services. Through regional
collaboration, we are leveraging the impact of our
individual investments in efficiency and conservation to
spur economic development, reduce emissions of harmful
pollutants, and contribute to the long-term prosperity of
the Northwest,” stated Oregon Governor Kate Brown.
