Theme Elements - Next Generation Energy Efficiency:  

Meeting state and regional policy goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide reliable and affordable energy, and support sustainable economic development (job and business growth) through public policies, technologies and services that reflect a new balance of regulatory and private sector activities to:

- Achieve deep and comprehensive cost-effective energy efficiency in homes and buildings from all fuels

- Use big data, data analytics and controls to broadly engage all market sectors, maximize energy savings and optimize home and building energy performance

- Position energy efficiency as core element of Integrated demand side resources (e.g., energy storage, demand-response, distributed energy) responsive to occupant and energy system needs

- Increased engagement of private markets to deliver high efficiency products and demand-side solutions on a regional scale

- Engage new roles and business models for regulated utilities to provide customer-focused energy services
