Alliance News
At the December 15, 2005 public session of the California Public Utility Commission, Chairman Peevey made the following comment:
"As many of you know, Commissioners Kennedy and Rosenfeld have spearheaded a pathbreaking effort to cooperate with China on energy efficiency, highlighted by the signing of a Cooperative Agreement with California’s sister province of Jiangsu, and collaboration on the drafting of a nationwide DSM decree. The China US Energy Efficiency Alliance, a California nonprofit organization, has been instrumental in facilitating this cooperation. The mission of the Alliance is to protect the global environment by working with China to harness efficiency as a viable energy resource.
I am very pleased to announce that, as of last week, all three of California’s major investor-owned energy utilities – PG&E, Sempra and SCE – have joined the Alliance as Corporate Partners. I know you all join me in expressing our appreciation to all involved in these acts of environmental leadership. We look forward to working with these utilities through the Alliance to further Chinas’ efforts to meets its impressive energy efficiency goals, in support of our mutual interest in reducing global warming pollution."
- In September 2005, the Alliance became a signatory to a groundbreaking Cooperation Agreement between the State of California and Jiangsu Province, in which the Parties agree to undertake activities related to energy efficiency and renewable energy policy and implementation, help remove market barriers, and open up the market for clean and energy efficient technologies and products. The Alliance facilitated the development of this Agreement and is recognized as being instrumental in facilitating the cooperative activities under the agreement.
