DOVER – DNREC’s Division of Energy & Climate will hold a public hearing this month on newly proposed regulations for the evaluation, measurement and verification of energy efficiency programs recommended by Delaware’s Energy Efficiency Advisory Council. The public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m., Monday, Aug. 29, in DNREC’s Auditorium, Richardson & Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901.
The Energy Efficiency Advisory Council is a collaborative group of stakeholders representing utilities, industry, residents, agencies and partners that was established by the General Assembly to create and implement energy efficiency programs and wise energy-use practices across the state. As utilities make their plans for providing energy-efficiency solutions, DNREC is developing a set of regulations that will outline methods for evaluating projects and measuring their effectiveness, known as Evaluation, Measurement and Verification (EM&V) regulations.
The proposed regulations can be found on the Division of Energy & Climate website. For more information, please contact Emily St. Clair at 302-735-3366 or email Emily.StClair@delaware.gov.
