NATIONAL GRID STATES MAKE TOP 10 FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York top 2015 ACEEE rankings

WALTHAM, Mass. – The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released their 2015 State Scorecard yesterday. Once again the three states in which National Grid U.S. operates—Mass., R.I. and N.Y.—all made the top ten for energy efficiency. Massachusetts ranked #1 for the fifth year in a row, with Rhode Island coming in fourth and New York landing ninth.

“National Grid takes great pride in its contributions toward helping our states retain their leadership positions in this ranking,” said Dean Seavers, president of National Grid US. “We get the triple win when it comes to energy efficiency: reduced demand on the grid, reduced cost to our customers and a reduced impact on our environment.”

Through its U.S. Connect21 strategy, National Grid is transforming its electricity and natural gas networks to support the 21st century digital economy with smarter, cleaner and more resilient energy solutions. Connect21 is vital to our communities' long-term economic and environmental health and aligns with regulatory initiatives in New York (REV: Reforming the Energy Vision) and Massachusetts (Grid Modernization).
