Danny M. Orlando is the Regional Energy Star Program Manager at the EPA. The document discusses the growth of energy efficiency programs across the Southeast region. It highlights that energy efficiency is the fastest, cheapest way to save energy and money while creating jobs. Several states like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee have adopted new energy efficiency standards and rules that will save consumers billions over the next 20 years and create thousands of new jobs. The ENERGY STAR program has also grown significantly, certifying millions of energy efficient products and buildings annually which has resulted in over $24 billion in utility bill savings nationwide.

NC - just fought a proposed repeal of their RPS
“For example, every $1 North Carolina invests in tax credits
for renewable energy state and local governments are seeing
at least $1.87 flow back into their coffers to support core
functions of government like transportation, education, and
public safety.”
Betsy McCorkle, Director of Government Affairs for the North
Carolina Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA).

12. Mississippi
Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC) -
unanimously adopted statewide energy efficiency
rules, which require the creation of utility-run
energy efficiency programs.
The rules are expected to save consumers
more than $2.3 billion over the next 20 years
and create 9,500 new jobs.
Also recently adopted IECC 2009.

Alabama Energy and Residential Codes Board
voted to adopt the 2009 IRC for new-home construction
and the 2009 IECC for commercial construction.
“a monumental achievement” for the state.

Georgia - PSC approved 525 MW of new solar capacity for
a total of 825 MW and closing of
15 coal- and oil-fired generating units
totaling 2,061 MW.
That will be the largest solar portfolio for
any investor-owned utility that operates
in a state without a RPS.
