Background:
The NEER is a central repository that will allow the public and private sectors to transparently track energy efficiency attributes associated with energy efficiency initiatives, as well as help demonstrate progress towards energy goals and potential compliance with existing and future state and federal environmental regulations. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is providing its largest award in the 2015 State Energy Program Competitive Award cycle to Tennessee, five other states – Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Pennsylvania – and partners The Climate Registry (TCR) and the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) -- to create the foundation for a NEER.
