Unpacking the Climate Potential of Energy Efficiency: Effective and Resilient Governance for Energy Efficiency in Low-Carbon Sustainable Energy Transitions

Unpacking the Climate Potential of Energy Efficiency: Effective and Resilient Governance for Energy Efficiency in Low-Carbon Sustainable Energy Transitions

By Mark Winfield, Peter Love, James Gaede, and Scott Harbinson.

Drawing on a comparative analysis of approaches to energy efficiency program administration in five provinces and three US states, this paper presents a set of five guiding yet non-prescriptive principles for effective and resilient governance of energy efficiency strategies as core elements of a low-carbon sustainable energy transition in Canada.
