The Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC) was created by the Green Communities Act of 2008, a comprehensive energy reform law. EEAC members guide the development of state- and nation-leading energy efficiency plans by the Commonwealth’s investor-owned gas and electric utilities and energy providers. The Council’s priorities are to develop, implement, evaluate, and monitor the implementation of these plans.

The Council is also charged with developing a long-term vision for the Commonwealth’s energy future. In recommending and overseeing specific studies and research, the Council works to achieve energy efficiency savings and to maximize the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency.
