About NAESCO

The National Association of Energy Service Companies is a national trade association which has been promoting the benefits of the widespread use of energy efficiency for over 25 years. On behalf of its membership, NAESCO works to help open new markets for energy services by directly promoting the value of demand reduction to customers through seminars, workshops, training programs, publication of case studies and guidebooks, and the compilation and dissemination of aggregate industry data.

NAESCO is proud of its leadership role in devising innovative policies for a changing marketplace. NAESCO represents every facet of the energy services industry and is the industry's advocate for the cost effective delivery of comprehensive energy services to all customer classes. NAESCO strongly promotes the benefits of distributed resources, including energy efficiency, in an evolving market. In order to ensure industry quality, NAESCO sponsors a rigorous accreditation program for ESCOs, Energy Service Providers and Energy Efficiency Contractors to recognize capabilities and experience. The Association places a high priority on making the Association a home for the broadest spectrum of market participants including generation and distribution companies and distributed generation project developers.
