In July 2006, the Action Plan presented five key policy recommendations for fully developing the cost-effective energy efficiency resources in this country, building upon experiences in particular states and regions. It was a call to action to take investment in energy efficiency to the next level. As a next step, the Action Plan Leadership Group defined a vision that details the steps necessary to fully implement the Action Plan.
The Vision for 2025 includes establishment of a long term aspirational goal and 10 key implementation goals. It also describes what 2025 could look like if the long-term goal were achieved and provides a means for measuring progress over time. The Vision is provided as a framework to guide the changing policies toward energy efficiency for natural gas and electricity; it can be modified and improved over time.

Executive Summary (PDF) (24 pp., 273K) – Provides a summary of the Action Plan Vision for 2025 including the 10 Implementation Goals and supporting policy steps, as well as supporting information on measuring progress.
Measurement of the progress in achieving the 10 implementation goals is an important part of the Vision for 2025. Progress is being measured in terms of both state and program steps, as well as national benefits. State progress is essential because states oversee the majority of policies that regulate the nation’s investment in energy efficiency.
The following tables summarize state progress on the 28 key policy steps identified in the Vision for 2025, as of the baseline of December 2008. State progress on these policy steps will be measured and reported on regularly. Based on information collected from across the country, there is a strong basis of experience with these energy efficiency policies upon which to draw and to expand.
