California’s Energy Efficiency Standards Have Saved $74 Billion
www.energy.ca.gov | “The Energy Commission’s energy efficiency standards have saved Californians more than $74 billion in reduced electricity bills since 1975. These standards conserve electricity and natural gas and prevent the state from having to build more power plants. The Commission accounts for the savings by using forecasting models for residential and commercial energy consumption.”
