The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Recognizes Rich May Client GasNetworks’® Energy Efficiency Programs as “Exemplary”
Rich May is proud to note that the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), a nonprofit research group based in Washington, D.C., has recognized the energy efficiency programs of the GasNetworks® collaborative as an “exemplary program” as part of a national awards program to honor America’s leading energy efficiency programs.
GasNetworks® is an energy efficiency collaborative among Bay State Gas, Berkshire Gas, KeySpan, National Grid, RI, New England Gas, Northern Utilities, NSTAR Gas and Unitil, MA.
Programs chosen for honors were deemed to be especially notable for their effectiveness and innovation in helping customers achieve greater levels of energy efficiency in their homes, businesses, and facilities. These programs not only reduced customers’ energy costs, they also generated broader economic and environmental benefits. “These programs are delivering energy savings that are critical in helping customers with today’s high energy costs, plus they make an important environmental contribution to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” noted Martin Kushler, Ph.D., ACEEE’s Utilities Program Director.
GasNetworks® Chairman, Michael Sommer of Berkshire Gas commented, “GasNetworks is the only such gas utility collaborative in the nation and we are particularly proud of our accomplishments and success in the area of market transformation, energy efficiency promotion, environmental improvements, and the development and implementation of nation-leading energy efficiency programs. GasNetworks exemplifies what can be accomplished by working together toward a common goal.”
CEEE publicly recognized these “exemplary programs” in an awards ceremony at the 4th National Conference on Energy Efficiency as a Resource, held in Berkeley, California in October 2007.
