Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study finds that energy efficiency potential is largely untapped in Louisiana, and that a set of policies and programs can cost-effectively meet 5% cumulative of statewide electricity needs by 2020, increasing to 16% cumulative by 2030; and 3% cumulative of natural gas needs by 2020, increasing to 12% cumulative by 2030... Despite this significant potential, the state has yet to embrace energy efficiency due to pervasive market barriers. Customers and businesses often face high upfront costs and lack information or expertise, tenants and building owners encounter differing incentives, and utilities' business interests are fundamentally misaligned with the goals of energy efficiency. The policies and programs outlined in this report will help chart a path for Louisiana to take greater advantage of energy efficiency as a means to grow the economy"--Executive summary (viewed May 30, 2013.)
