On December 8 and 9, 2011, regional and national energy
efficiency professionals gathered in Salt Lake City,
Utah to hear the state of energy efficiency in the
Southwest, and to learn about new and emerging policy
opportunities and technologies that will result in greater energy efficiency adoption
across the region.
SWEEP's Eighth Annual Southwest Regional Energy
Efficiency Workshop provided a forum for regional
utility, regulatory, state, and nonprofit
representatives to hear the latest on demand-side
management program development from the region's
utilities, get updated on state policy
efforts, and learn about emerging energy efficiency
policies and technologies. The workshop featured a
keynote address delivered by Claire Fulenwider, former
Executive Director of the Northwest Energy Efficiency
Alliance, as well as several other presentations by
prominent regional and national energy efficiency
leaders. The 2011 workshop was sponsored by Questar Gas
Company and Rocky Mountain Power.
In addition, the 2011 workshop included the presentation
of SWEEP's Annual "Leadership in Energy Efficiency"
Awards, given to individuals who
demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing energy
efficiency in the Southwest. This year's awards honored
individuals who lead the energy efficiency programs for the three main
investor-owned utilities in Arizona:
- Deborah Kimberly, Salt
River Project
- Denise Smith, Tucson
Electric Power
- James Wontor, Arizona
Public Service
All three electric
utilities operating in Arizona have greatly expanded
their energy efficiency programs in recent years, with a
combined budget increasing from about $40 million in
2008 to $130 million in 2011. Households and businesses
in Arizona are saving hundreds of millions of dollars as
a result of the energy efficiency programs implemented
under the leadership of these three individuals.
