Long Title:AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 26 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY RESOURCE STANDARDS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY PLANNING.
Synopsis:This act creates Energy Efficiency Resource Standards (EERS) and sets goals for consumption and peak demand for electricity and natural gas utilities. The goals are 15% electricity consumption savings and 10% natural gas consumption savings by 2015. Savings will be reported to the State Energy Coordinator by Affected Energy Providers on an annual basis.

This act designates energy efficiency as a priority energy supply resource for the state, recognizing that energy efficiency is among the least expensive ways to meet the growing energy demands of the state and therefore, should be considered before new supply-side resources are obtained.

This act also creates an eleven-member Workgroup of representatives of affected interests to assist in developing the regulations necessary to administer the program and monitor its success.

There are presently nineteen states which have adopted legislation with EERS or EERS-like standards.
