The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recently unveiled a new Lighting Action Plan, which outlines four policy goals for lighting: market transformation, best practices, end user demand, and research, development and demonstration.
Lighting is responsible for almost 25% of California’s electric energy use, but the California Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan says that number can be reduced by as much as 80% over the next decade.
“The Lighting Action Plan utilizes experts across the industry–including manufactures, retailers, government officials, and trade associations–to create an effective and actionable path to realize the goals of the Strategic Plan and achieve a 60-80% reduction in lighting energy use by 2020,” says Commissioner Mark J. Ferron.
