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.
