Alliance To Save Energy

What does the data actually tell us about where U.S. energy demand is heading?
At the 2026 Alliance to Save Energy Policy Summit, Billy Pizer, President and CEO of Resources for the Future (RFF), will help open the day as moderator and presenter for Session 1:
AMERICA’S ENERGY DEMAND MOMENT

RFF’s rigorous, nonpartisan research has made it a leading source on energy economics and policy. Pizer will bring that analytical lens to the question framing this year’s Summit: How is America going to meet a new era of energy demand growth?

Data centers, advanced manufacturing, industrial expansion, and broader economic growth are putting new pressure on the U.S. energy system. How we manage that demand, not just how we supply it, will have major implications for reliability, affordability, energy security, and U.S. competitiveness.

Join us as we start the Summit with the data, trends, and economic realities shaping America’s energy future.

America is facing an energy demand moment unlike anything in recent memory.

Data centers, advanced manufacturing, industrial expansion, and broader economic growth are increasing energy demand at a pace that is challenging existing infrastructure and long-standing planning assumptions.

How America manages that growth, not just how it supplies it, will have major implications for reliability, affordability, energy security, and economic competitiveness.

That conversation is at the center of the 2026 Alliance to Save Energy Policy Summit: THE EFFICIENCY IMPERATIVE: POWERING AMERICA'S NEXT ENERGY CHAPTER
📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026
📍 U.S. Navy Memorial | Washington, D.C.

The Summit will bring together regulators, utilities, technology providers, investors, policymakers, and energy leaders to examine how energy efficiency, energy productivity, demand management, and other demand-side solutions can help meet growing energy needs while supporting an affordable and reliable energy system.

The program includes:
• Billy Pizer, President & CEO, Resources for the Future - America’s Energy Demand Moment
• Commissioner Jehmal Hudson, Virginia SCC; Darlene Phillips, PJM, Rebecca Foster, VEIC; and Carley Hume, New York Power Authority - Large Loads, Utility System Planning & the New Rules of Energy Smart Growth
• Tanner A. Johnson, Van Ness Feldman and Kristine Wiley, GTI Energy - infrastructure constraints, system planning, natural gas efficiency, energy productivity, and energy security
• Nick Chaset, Octopus Energy US, Jetta Wong, Carrier Energy, and Rory Christian, CEM, CEA, New York State PSC - Demand as a Resource: Technology, Flexibility & System Efficiency
• Bob Hinkle, Metrus Energy, John Holdsclaw IV, Rochdale Capital, Phil Croskey, MD Energy Advisors, and Brandi Colander, DC Green Bank - scaling energy productivity for consumers, businesses, and communities

Whether your work focuses on utility planning, grid reliability, energy affordability, technology deployment, manufacturing, economic development, or energy efficiency, we hope you will join us in Washington and add your perspective to the conversation.

Energy efficiency standards have delivered measurable benefits to American households and businesses for decades.

The U.S. Department of Energy's proposed changes to the process for developing appliance and equipment efficiency standards could shape how future standards are evaluated and updated for years to come.

A transparent, predictable, and balanced process is essential. It helps provide certainty for manufacturers, supports innovation, and ensures that consumers continue to benefit from products that lower energy costs while maintaining performance and choice.

As energy demand continues to grow, maintaining a framework that reflects statutory requirements and keeps pace with evolving technologies will be critical to strengthening affordability, reliability, and long-term competitiveness.

Read the Alliance's full statement:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Alliance to Save Energy today noted the U.S. Department of Energy’s proposed updates to the process used to develop appliance and equipment efficiency standards. DOE’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking would revise the Department’s “Process Rule,”...

At the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s 11th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency, Alliance to Save Energy President Paula Glover joined global leaders to discuss how efficiency strengthens competitiveness, affordability, and resilience in an increasingly uncertain energy landscape.

One message stood out: energy efficiency is something businesses can act on today. Lower energy use means lower operating costs, freeing up resources to invest in people, equipment, innovation, and growth. It also helps organizations of every size become more resilient in the face of changing markets and rising energy demand.

The conversation also reinforced that long-term success depends on durable policy frameworks that give businesses the confidence to invest, innovate, and compete.

As global energy demand continues to grow, energy efficiency remains one of the most practical, cost-effective tools for strengthening industry, supporting economic growth, and building a more resilient energy future.

The strongest energy future is one we build together.

Meeting America's growing energy needs will require more than new generation. It will require smarter systems, stronger partnerships, and a commitment to using every energy resource more effectively.

Energy efficiency helps make that possible. It lowers costs, strengthens grid reliability, creates capacity for growth, and supports American competitiveness. Most importantly, it connects people, industries, and communities around practical solutions that deliver results.

Real progress happens when we stop thinking in silos and start working as one system.

Together, we can build a stronger, more reliable, and more resilient energy future for everyone. Watch ⬇️

Every conversation about America's energy future should include energy efficiency.

That's exactly why Alliance members came together for Hill Day 2026, meeting with congressional offices to share how energy efficiency is helping strengthen grid reliability, lower energy costs, support American manufacturing, and meet rising electricity demand.

These conversations are about more than a single day on Capitol Hill. They help ensure policymakers hear directly from the businesses, utilities, and organizations putting energy efficiency into practice every day, bringing real-world experience to the policies that will shape our energy future.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped amplify the voice of energy efficiency. Together, we're building momentum for smarter, more affordable energy solutions.
