The Report of the Energy Conservation Management Board is an annual publication produced in cooperation with the United Illuminating Company and Connecticut Light & Power (Northeast Utilities). “Within this legislative report, [the companies] detail how the ECMB has fulfilled its primary objectives of advancing the efficient use of energy to: (1) reducing ratepayer bills; (2) promoting economic development and providing energy security/affordability; and (3) reducing air pollution and other negative environmental impacts.”
The 2009 report uses stock photos and illustrations as well as photography supplied by the client and by Connecticut photographer Jack McConnell. It also contains maps and charts created by Granite Bay Design. Download the full report here: ECMB 2009 Full Report, 4.71 MB
From the report: “2009 was a great year for championing energy efficiency. Energy efficiency has been recognized as the key to some of today’s leading issues—rising energy costs, skyrocketing unemployment rates, energy independence and climate change. Energy efficiency is the easiest, most cost-effective way to collectively save money, create jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy security, and reduce the need for additional generation plant construction. The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act makes it clear that investing in energy-efficiency projects is critical to the American economy, job force and a sustainable future.
Since 2000, Connecticut has been ranked as one of the top three states in the nation for energy efficiency. This leadership position is due to the foresight of Connecticut’s legislature in 1998 in creating the ECMB and the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund (CEEF), funded by utility ratepayers.2 In 2009, the state’s leadership role was recognized on national, regional and state levels, and Connecticut has received funding through the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as a result of the state’s existing, award-winning energy-efficiency programs.”
