National Action Plan Meetings
The National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency was a private-public initiative to create a sustainable, aggressive national commitment to energy efficiency through natural gas and electric utilities, their regulators, and other partner organizations. The Action Plan Leadership Group met six times from 2005 to 2009 and also sponsored a series of regional implementation meetings during 2007. This page includes information on these meetings, including agenda and presentations. For more information on the Action Plan, visit the resources and past activities pages.
