Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is key to addressing climate change. By making our homes, businesses, communities, and power grid more energy efficient, we save money and reduce climate pollution.
Energy efficiency measures reduce the amount of electricity we use, which lowers monthly utility costs. When utilities, governments, or private companies incentivize customers to reduce energy demands in our homes and businesses, we save money while also reducing the carbon emissions driving the climate crisis.
