Policy & Advocacy
Efficiency first for lower bills, reliable power, and a more productive economy.
The Alliance’s work
Efficiency first, across the economy.
The Alliance to Save Energy brings businesses, utilities, advocates, and policymakers together to advance energy efficiency. In 2026 its members met with Congress on weatherization, ENERGY STAR, and federal investment, while ASE commented on building codes and appliance standards.
Federal policy
ASE supports sustained funding for efficiency programs, including the Weatherization Assistance Program and state energy programs. Its March 2026 coalition letter urged robust FY2027 Department of Energy appropriations.
Standards and buildings
The Alliance is tracking ENERGY STAR implementation and DOE appliance standards and building-code decisions because they shape consumer savings for years.
Demand as a resource
Through its Innovation Policy Committee, ASE is exploring grid flexibility and efficient responses to large-load growth.
