Weatherization & Intergovernmental Programs Office

Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP): State/local agencies carry out residential energy retrofits in low–income residences that reduce energy consumption while concurrently reducing energy costs for these families.

State Energy Program (SEP): State-led energy projects serve as an important foundation for reducing energy use and costs, developing environmentally conscious state economies, and increasing renewable energy generation.

Policy & Technical Assistance Team (P&TA): Assists in developing tools and solutions to barriers facing state and local government expansion of energy efficiency policies and programs and replicating successful efforts demonstrated by public sector leaders.

WIP is part of EERE’s balanced research, development, demonstration, and deployment(RDD&D) approach to accelerate America’s transition to a clean energy economy.

Financing Models

• Expansion of ESPC in underserved states and/or sectors in 2 states (NM, MN)

– Create 1st ever ESPC program in NM for local governments resulting in 4.25 M sq. ft. of public buildings and savings of $3.3 M

– Statewide wastewater energy efficiency/distributed energy resources program using ESPC and PACE methods to reduce 5 M Kwh/year, DER at 2-5 sites with anaerobic digesters, and use of DG

DER Interconnection Streamlining

• Modernized, streamlined and transparent interconnection in 1 Northeast state (VT) tested in 100 MW of small renewable and combined heat and power in the next 2-4 years.

Outcomes/Impacts of Selected FY14 Competitive Proposals


Benchmarking & Disclosure Policies

ARRA – State Energy Program (SEP) and Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)

HPOLAOpportunityProvide state and local governments with tools and framework to enable broad deployment of energy efficient street and outdoor lighting systems upgrades.

Potential Savings*• Streetlight luminaires used 452 tBtu of energy in 2012. • High efficiency technologies currently saving 3.5 tBtu per

year.• Switching to high efficiency street lighting saves 238 tBtu

per year, a potential energy cost savings of $2.3 billion.

Goal• Replace > 500,000 poles in next two years. • Collaborate with municipalities to demonstrate best

practices for the adoption of high-efficiency outdoor lighting.

• Improve system-wide replacement processes for outdoor lighting.

Outcomes• Collaborative solution for financial, regulatory, and

technical barriers that constrain broad technology deployment.

• Increased installation of high performance street and outdoor lighting systems above baselines.
