ACEEE Report by William R. Prindle, Anna Monis Shipley, and R. Neal Elliott - Energy Efficiency’s Role in a Carbon Cap-and-Trade System. Modeling Results from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Doubling efficiency would cut load growth by about two-thirds in 2024, from about 20% to about 6% above 2006 levels. Electricity generation is measured in GWh and under the reference case by 2024, generation would reach around 480,000 GWh and with doubled efficiency it would reach around 430,000 GWh.

California’s Secret Energy Surplus - The Potential For Energy Efficiency - Hewlett Foundation Energy Series. This study examines the potential energy and peak demand savings from energy efficiency measures in California. The study finds that if If all measures that are economic were implemented, potential peak demand savings would amount to roughly 10,000 MW. Additionally, net program peak savings potential ranges from roughly 1,800 MW under current funding (Business-as-Usual) to 3,500 MW if funding is doubled (Advanced Efficiency), to 5,900 MW if funding is quadrupled (Maximum Efficiency).

Economically Achievable Energy Efficiency Potential in New England - Prepared by Optimal Energy, Inc. for Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships, Inc. - November 2004, Updated May 2005. This paper looks at the economically achievable potential for energy efficiency in New England. If the region were to commit to fully capturing the EE Potential – at an average cost of 3.1 cents per kWh4 – it could provide energy savings of 17,103 GWH by 2008 and 34,375 GWH by 2013 – bringing energy demand back to 1993 levels. This represents a decrease in energy demand of approximately 1.38 percent a year, as opposed to ISO-New England’s forecasted 1.2 percent annual increase. Link.

Projected Benefits of Federal Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Programs, FY 2007-FY 2050 - The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE/RE) estimates benefits for each of its nine programs in the mid-term (2010-2025) and long-term (2030-2050). If the goals of EERE’s investment portfolio are achieved and the corresponding market outcomes realized, it will reduce nonrenewable energy consumption by 8 quadrillion Btus by 2025, or about 28% of the expected incremental growth in energy demand over this time period; and by 32 quadrillion Btus by 2050, or about 78% of the expected incremental growth in annual energy demand over this time period. This results in a declining demand for nonrenewable energy consumption starting in 2030, despite a growing economy.
