CPUC Commissioner
Peevey Wins ASE Award
The recipient of this year's Charles H. Percy Award for Public
Service, Michael Peevey, is a leader in the development and implementation
of sustainable programming that promotes energy efficiency and
improvement of the environment. Peevey is recognized nationally
for his dedication to efficiency and the expansion of renewable
generation technologies.
As President of the CPUC, Peevey was instrumental in bringing
together regulatory and administrative agencies of California in
order to address energy needs of the State with a strong focus
on the environment. Under his leadership, the state's "Energy
Action Plan" (EAP) was adopted which calls for supplying all
electrical power and natural gas in an environmentally sound and
cost-effective manner.
Under the EAP championed by Peevey, investor-owned utilities will
likely decrease the energy consumption of their consumers by over
3 billion kWh throughout 2004-2005. And, California -- already
a leader in renewable technologies -- will increase the use and
development of renewable energy from solar, wind, geothermal, hydro,
and biomass resources.
Peevey's vision, dedication and commitment to energy efficiency
are embodied in his accomplishment of bringing together important
industry, policy, and business leaders to develop an energy plan
for California that has energy efficiency as its backbone. The
Alliance to Save Energy is honored to recognized this achievement
and leadership.
