Overview: This staff paper provides background for the efficiency workshop that is part of the public input process for the Integrated Energy Policy Report, a report to the Governor and Legislature. Trends in electricity and natural gas usage at the customer level and the contributions of different types of "demand side" programs and planning processes, both historically and going forward, are described first. After this review, the paper discusses the potential for additional energy savings and policies to support those achievements. Finally, it discusses some of the challenges associated with relying on energy efficiency and conservation to increase system adequacy.
