Integration of Renewables and Efficiency: Leveraging Interest and Funding
Host: Cheryl Jenkins, VEIC
Date: February 17, 2011
Time: 2:00-3:00 EDT
Description: Bundling efficiency and renewables – thinking of both as parts of the energy system when undertaking planning – allows for more effective use of both types of technologies within projects. In addition, designing programs that consider both technologies can leverage interest and funding in efficient ways. For these and many other reasons, advancing this integration whenever possible makes sense. This presentation will showcase guidelines, best practices, and case studies of successful policies and programs designed to develop synergy between efficiency and renewables.
