Supporting synergism: Enhancing Federal, State and private sector collaboration in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Second annual report of the State Energy Advisory Board, December 1993

摘要

The State Energy Advisory Board first convened to counsel the Secretary of Energy and the Congress on the initiation, design, implementation, and evaluation of Federal energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE/RE) programs. The Board has developed and delivered a host of recommendations which serve to integrate and foster consistency among Federal, State, local and private sector activities. In fiscal year (FY) 1993, the Board worked closely with Department leadership to provide guidance on the implementation of several National Energy Policy Act (EPACT) provisions pertaining to the enhancement of energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, as well as on redefining the mission of the National Laboratories. Through these and other actions -- which also include promoting EE/RE technology deployment efforts -- the Board ensures that the knowledge and experience of program stakeholders, especially State and local governments, community action agencies and also the off-shore territories, are incorporated into Federal activities pertaining to energy efficiency and renewable energy.
