Energy Efficiency Resource Standards

Energy Efficiency Resource Standards (EERS) are regulations set by governments or regulatory bodies that require utilities to achieve specific energy savings through efficiency programs. These standards encourage utilities to invest in energy-saving technologies and initiatives, rather than just expanding energy production. By promoting practices that reduce energy consumption, EERS help lower utility bills for consumers, decrease environmental impact, and enhance energy security. Essentially, they aim to make energy use more efficient, benefiting both the economy and the planet.
