EES Consulting recently completed a research project for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in conjunction with Global Energy Partners.  The study provides an in-depth look at leading-edge energy efficiency and load management programs of EPRI member utilities.  EES Consulting obtained first-hand information on these programs regarding program design and implementation strategies through telephone interviews.  This original research was augmented with secondary research from sources such as ACEEE (American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy).
