The Alliance to Save Energy

Advocates for high-impact energy efficiency policies Helps U.S. Consumers and Businesses save money Strives toward a sustainable energy future Leads bipartisan initiatives that drive job growth and innovation

How Energy Efficiency and Demand-Side Management Can Save the Grid—and Your Wallet

Demand-side management is a broad concept encompassing everyday technologies like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, energy-efficient products, distributed solar and battery storage. This is where the concept of virtual power plants comes into play. When aggregated, distributed energy resources make significant contributions to grid reliability and stability, serving as a "first fuel" and often providing the most cost-effective source of additional capacity.v

CELEBRATING 45 YEARS

Since our founding in 1977, the Alliance to Save Energy has been a leader in energy efficiency policy and advocacy. Over the years, the Alliance’s programs and priorities have evolved as U.S. energy efficiency policy has grown. Join us as we celebrate past achievements and meet our present defining moment.

Historic Timeline The Alliance Turns 45

TAX POLICY

Tax incentives are a proven tool for encouraging consumers and businesses to adopt energy efficiency, stimulating construction, manufacturing, and other economic activity while significantly reducing carbon emissions and lowering energy bills.

Current Proposals Advocacy

ACTIVE EFFICIENCY

As energy efficiency enters the digital age, we must coalesce around a shared vision that integrates well-established energy efficiency approaches with the capabilities of smart and connected technologies, distributed energy resources, and key decarbonization strategies.

WHY ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

The Alliance to Save Energy is on a quest to advance energy efficiency. That means using our limited energy resources as wisely as possible, whether it’s homes and buildings that better manage energy consumption and hold their heating and cooling better, more efficient vehicles that drive farther using less energy, or smarter industrial technologies that use less energy for manufacturing and construction. Increasingly, it means using data analytics, connectivity, and artificial intelligence to optimize energy use across all sectors, from lighting an office building to designing a transportation system.
