ENERGY EFFICIENCY
GEEG prioritizes energy efficiency as the “first fuel” and puts it at the cornerstone of energy system planning.
Program and Portfolio Design
GEEG has extensive experience with the design, development, and implementation of energy efficiency programs and portfolios. We have helped program administrators design and launch portfolios of energy efficiency programs from the ground up, including development of:
Measure costs and energy savings
Market potential and participation projections
Incentive design and delivery pathways
Marketing and outreach strategy
Evaluation, measurement, and verification approaches
Economic Analysis
GEEG has expertise in the economic analyses of energy efficiency programs, plans, and policies, including project, program, and portfolio cost-effectiveness models, job projections, and rate and bill impact analysis.
Regulatory Assistance
GEEG works with multiple stakeholders, from advocacy groups to utilities, to help navigate and address energy efficiency related regulatory needs and litigation support. From participating in working groups to expert testimony, discovery, and settlement support.
Data Tracking and Reporting
GEEG assists customers with the development of tracking databases to meet regulatory requirements and contribute to continuous program improvements. This includes internal reporting, regulatory reporting, forecasting, customer segmentation, and energy modeling.
BUILDING DECARBONIZATION
GEEG is well versed in the ongoing and upcoming work needed as jurisdictions develop and pursue decarbonization policies.
Policy and Program Best Practices
GEEG has analyzed federal, state, and local policies and programs including greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals, Clean Energy Standards, Integrated Resource Plans, Clean Heat Standards, and decarbonization roadmaps.
Technology and Customer Experience
GEEG brings a deep understanding of the types of technologies and delivery approaches necessary to overcome customer barriers to decarbonization. We find ways to deliver a variety of decarbonization measures, such as air source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and building weatherization, through multiple channels and across customer sectors.
CLIMATE & EQUITY
GEEG works to provide equitable access to climate change programs for underserved communities.
Underserved Markets
GEEG has extensive experience designing programs that benefit traditionally underserved groups, such as low to moderate income residential customers, small businesses, and the multifamily market.
Ratepayer and Customer Impacts
GEEG acknowledges that an unintended consequence of many programs is adverse ratepayer and customer impacts. GEEG has expertise taking the perspective of those impacted by and funding these programs and analyzing, identifying, and overcoming issues through intelligent rate and program design.
Stakeholder Engagement
GEEG understands that stakeholder engagement is critical in any policy and program development. Our approach incorporates engagement from the bottom up, including customers, advocacy organizations, trade allies, contractor networks, regulatory organizations, and utilities.
Workforce Development
GEEG knows that a program is only as successful as the workforce implementing it. We work to enhance and diversify the energy efficiency and decarbonization workforce through outreach, training, tools, and wraparound services during the planning process.
