Report: Fla. Remains 1 Of Nation’s Lowest-Performing States For Utility Energy Efficiency

In this mention

A new SACE report finds Florida ranks among the nation's lowest-performing states for utility energy efficiency, with the state capturing less savings than South Carolina despite having three times the population. SACE Executive Director Stephen Smith emphasizes that energy efficiency is critical for reducing carbon emissions and lowering customer bills. The report notes Florida has not updated its efficiency policies in nearly three decades, though the state's Public Service Commission initiated a rule-making process in July 2020 that could modernize efficiency practices.
