Policy Priorities

State Advocacy

NAESCO Works with the states to enact laws, craft regulations, and implement programs that are fair, open, competitive, and that deliver substantial, measurable energy savings. NAESCO works to ensure that state legislators, regulators and policy makers recognize business realities and deliver appropriate incentives to generate project investment.

Public Funding for Energy Efficiency

NAESCO state advocacy work concentrates on supporting public funding of energy efficiency and renewable energy programs and has produced significant results in California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Colorado, and New England.

State Building Programs

NAESCO is working with the states of California, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Louisiana to help organize and implement large-scale energy efficiency, distributed generation and renewable energy programs for state and local government facilities. NAESCO advocates programs founded on standard industry business practices, offering fair and appropriate incentives, which deliver significant energy saving and build a robust, competitive energy efficiency industry.

Model Documentation

In conjunction with NASEO and Rebuild America, NAESCO has developed model documents, including enabling legislation for states interested in utilizing performance contracting at public facilities and model guidelines for states seeking to implement the legislation once passed. In addition, NAESCO has also developed sample RFQs and RFPs.

Federal Advocacy

NAESCO has concentrated on its Federal Advocacy in several areas:

  • NAESCO supports full funding for DOE's Federal Energy Management Program and works to make sure Congressional appropriators recognize the value of the ESPC program and FEMP's key role in the program.
  • NAESCO supports ESPC program amendments which strengthen and expand the program and supports making the program permanent.
  • NAESCO has supported energy efficiency set asides in the state implementation plan (SIP) calls at EPA.
  • NAESCO supports the adoption of demand response elements in the future FERC rulemakings and policy orders.
  • NAESCO also continues to work with its trade allies to support streamlined interconnection standards for small DG projects.
