Georgia: Strategies for Capturing Energy Efficiency Potential

The Assessment of Energy Efficiency Potential in Georgia , a companion report to this paper, identifies potential cost-effective energy efficiency improvements. The purpose of this paper is to explore options for reaching the target. Section 1 describes a "best practice starter portfolio" of energy efficiency programs that are relevant to any utiltiy just entering the field. Information includes:

• the types of measures to be pursued
• general implementation strategies
• the costs and benefits associated with implementation
• the cost-effectiveness of each generic program
