Alliance To Save Energy

Founded in 1977 by two U.S. senators who recognized the enormous opportunity of energy efficiency, the Alliance to Save Energy is a bipartisan, nonprofit coalition of business, government, environmental, and consumer leaders advocating to advance federal energy efficiency policy. Since 1977, we've played an integral role in nearly every major energy efficiency policy achievement on the national stage, becoming the leading national voice for efficiency policy. Our Vision: A nation that uses energy more productively to achieve economic growth, a cleaner environment and greater energy security, affordability, and reliability.

Energy efficiency is smart, nonpartisan, and practical. So are we. Our strength comes from an unparalleled group of Alliance Associates working collaboratively under the Alliance umbrella to pave the way for energy efficiency gains. The power of efficiency is in your hands. Supporting the Alliance means supporting a vision for using energy more productively to achieve economic growth, a cleaner environment, and greater energy security, affordability, and reliability.

Using energy efficiently reduces demand on the grid - making our electric system more reliable, and strengthening its ability to adapt to challenges and bounce back from inevitable disruptions. This is particularly true today with the emergence of new technologies for generating and distributing power, and with increasing threats of severe weather such as heat waves and hurricanes due to climate change. Efficiency gives utilities and system operators greater flexibility in managing demand and resources to ride out the challenges.

A lot of energy consumption happens indoors, making buildings an important target for energy efficiency. And the energy efficiency toolkit is getting smarter: emerging innovations around building systems and grid-interactive technologies are combining with proven solutions like high-efficiency windows and insulation to make the promise of decarbonization a reality in the buildings sector. But to get there, we need to do more to push energy efficiency into the market. Homes and buildings are where we use a lot of our energy.
