Industrial #electrification and energy efficiency can help lower manufacturers’ production costs, improve quality, and increase global competitiveness. Our new white paper shares insights from an ACEEE-led study-trip to Denmark to learn what strategies have enabled the country to become a global leader in industrial electrification. While Denmark and the U.S. are very different in their political and energy landscapes, we identified key strategies that can inform our approach to electrifying industry in the United States. Here's what we learned⬇️

ACEEE’s Roxana Ayala spoke with Yale Climate Connections for a radio report about energy burdens among Americans who often live in poorly insulated homes with inefficient heating systems. Recent research from ACEEE found one in four low-income households spends more than 15% of their income on energy bills. Ayala recommends that policymakers design programs to help low-income households afford the upfront costs of energy efficiency upgrades that can lower monthly bills and help families stay warm in the winter. https://lnkd.in/giezkiHP

ACEEE is part of a team of organizations supporting the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) Clean Transportation Prize Initiative. The initiative aims to transform transportation systems across New York to reduce air pollution, enhance electrification, and increase mobility. ACEEE’s transportation team was in Tarrytown, New York, to lead discussions about equitable and community-level clean transportation at the Prize’s Interim Conference celebrating the progress to date for the awarded projects. The convening brought together the 10 Prize winners to discuss their progress in serving their communities with clean mobility options. ACEEE, as part of the Prize’s measurement evaluation and learning team, facilitated reflections among teams on their first two years of operations and how to chart their paths forward. Over the next year and a half, ACEEE will produce replication playbooks with the learnings from the Clean Transportation Prize projects to guide future work in expanding clean mobility options for everyone. ACEEE thanks NYSERDA and Opinion Dynamics for hosting and organizing this convening. Funding was provided by NYSERDA under the New York Clean Transportation Prizes program. Learn more ⤵️

Industrial competitiveness begins with efficiency and then smart electrification. On this week's Watt Matters podcast, it was a pleasure to dig deep with Jan Rosenow, Kira Taylor, and David Weston. We covered the need for efficiency to right-size investments, the use of energy storage to optimize timing of grid demand, and the way both efficiency and storage interact with the spark gap. Comparing the European context to the North American context was insightful for me, and I hope for you. Thanks to FORESIGHT Climate & Energy for hosting the podcast. https://lnkd.in/gFrGWHmK

The Biden administration has made great progress updating appliance and equipment efficiency standards that reduce energy waste and save consumers and businesses money. We estimate that they are about 85% of the way toward meeting their targets – which means now is the time to finish the job! Updating the remaining appliance and efficiency standards will help reduce energy waste and save households and businesses money.

Last week, voters sent a strong message: many are frustrated with the high cost of living, including energy expenses. Electricity, gasoline, and heating fuel bills make up a significant portion of household budgets, and energy efficiency programs offer one of the most effective ways to keep these costs in check. Unfortunately, President-elect Trump has signaled plans to roll back auto standards and to rescind unspent funds from the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides numerous incentives to help Americans reduce their energy costs. Here's how we're planning to work to protect policies and programs like these and other investments that reduce household bills and support U.S. competitiveness⤵️
Rolling Back Energy Efficiency Policies Would Raise Bills
