Bill Richardson

merieuns are entering the new millennium with a deeper understanding of our new energy-effiient technologies The Department of Energy's new report, Sharing Success

~ State Energy Program Special Projects Results, highlights examples

ergy Offices and industry

of how Federal organizations, State

partners are working together to save energy by fostering efficient

building, industrial, and transportation technologies,

Congratulations to all of our State and community partners who

‘are committed to the success of the State Energy’ Program Special Projects ‘These and other projects like it are helping to propel

‘State und national goals for a cleaner environment, more efficient

energy use, a healthier economy, and inereased energy security

are helping to promote energy efficieney and provide

clean and green energy for the 21st century

In Ohio, Louisiana, New England, and Puerto Rico, Special

Projects are upgrading building codes to improve energy

efficieney Drivers in Arizona, Connecticut, Oklahoma, and

other States are learning more about the use of alternative-fuel

vehicles as part of the Department of Energy's Clean Cities

Program, Americans across the country are being introduced

to the energy-savings potential of geothermal heat pumps, the

benefits of wind energy use, and photovoltaic systems

a variety of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, and ICP assisted schools and hospitals with technical analysis and installation of energy conservation measures, Through these pro- grams, more than 8,000 specific State conservation projects have been implemented since 1983 and more than 69,000 buildings have been made more energy efficient since 1979 The

Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy recognized the value of delivering programs through the States and created Special Projects in 1996

Outlook

ince its inception, the State Energy Program has

enabled States to address local energy priorities

while contributing to national energy initiatives

The Special Projects portion of SEP has been especially adept at allowing the Department of Energy end-use sectors

to capitalize upon the inherent flexibility of SEP, while simultaneously meeting sector-specific goals, Special Projects have given DOE the opportunity to partner with State governments to effectively deploy new energy efficiency and

renewable energy technologies across the country

State Energy Program

Projects grants are awardad annually an a competitive

s to obtain these funds, each State first sets its ov

n s and then submits completed ppropriat fice Regional Offices forward all subm Depa

headquarters, where funding de are made by ° Fach end-use sector determines which proposals best meet

ve nal vals and he m ally successful pro

re then sent to the Office of Building Technolog d ims for final approval This pracess provides cohesiveness

10 sector initiatives, while continuing to allow State Hexibilty
