Public Benefit of Energy Efficiency to the State of Massachusetts

The future of energy consumption, prices, and intensity remains uncertain, but these analyses suggest that greater energy efficiency has had-and may continue to have-a positive effect on the economies of given states. Together, targeted energy-efficiency programs in commercial, industrial, and residential sectors can provide economic benefits while offering a cost-effective option for meeting the states' increasing energy demand. The authors show that savings from commercial and industrial energy-efficiency programs have provided a positive return on utility investment, and they demonstrate benefits of energy efficiency for households in those states, particularly for low-income households.Bernstein, Mark is the author of 'Public Benefit of Energy Efficiency to the State of Massachusetts' with ISBN 9780833031976 and ISBN 083303197X.
