Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficiency is the cheapest form of energy generation.
MEI works to raise awareness and increase utilization of energy efficiency.
Don't miss out on our Federal Funding Collaboration Events in February.
About
The MEI Board has selected energy efficiency as a focus area as it is the most cost-efficient way to reduce the cost of delivering energy. It is the first step to reduce costs for consumers. MEI has worked to achieve this through the administration of Property Assessed Clean Energy programs, learning opportunities provided through the Midwest Energy Policy Series on Energy Efficiency, facilitating the initial Missouri Energy Efficiency Statewide Collaborative, collaborations to support Kansas City and St. Louis Building Energy Exchanges, and producing a variety of resources.
MEI's Energy Efficiency Committee
The Energy Efficiency Committee prioritizes MEI's policy work related to energy efficiency, including selecting white paper topics, overseeing the development of the Midwest Energy Policy Series on Energy Efficiency conference agenda, supporting Property Assessed Clean Energy financing in Missouri, and MEI's various collaborations.
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
MEI facilitates the funding of energy efficiency projects in both the commercial and residential sectors through administration of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs. PACE is an alternative way to finance both energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Learn more about PACE HERE.
