1 Commercial & Industrial Energy Efficiency Programs A Presentation by: Randy Vagnini, Sr. Energy Engineer Conservation and Load Management Department, Connecticut Light & Power September 6, 2012

2 Energy Efficiency in Connecticut Energize Connecticut is the state s new branding initiative to help consumers save money and use clean, affordable energy. Energize Connecticut programs are a partnership of the Energy Efficiency Fund, the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority, and local electric and gas utilities Energy efficiency is a valuable resource for Connecticut, it: Reduces air pollutants and greenhouse gases Saves customers money Reduces need for more energy generation Creates jobs Program funding: Electric customers pay 3 mills per kilowatt-hour Natural gas programs are funded through gas utility bills and approved by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority 2
