Encouraging the Construction of Energy-Efficient Homes. A Utility Perspective
Historically an industry with a supply side orientation, electric utilities are becoming increasingly involved with the end usage, or demand side, of their product as a means of effectively managing their systems. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has been actively involved in a variety of demand side energy conservation and management programs since 1977. One such program, designed to encourage the construction of energy-efficient new housing in the Tennessee Valley, now offers, through local electric power distributors, cash incentive payments to the builders and buyers of energy-efficient new homes. This paper discusses key features of the program and the rationale of a utility's involvement in encouraging energy-efficient construction. (ERA citation 11:000819)
