This paper is a compendium of tried and true regulatory policies that will advance the development of cost-effective clean energy within both electric and gas systems. It examines policy options in four primary areas: energy efficiency, renewable energy, distributed resources and rate design. It also discusses the importance of regulatory financial incentives which play an essential role in either discouraging or supporting the development of clean energy, particularly energy efficiency.

This report was prepared for the Canadian Associate of Members of Public Utility Tribunals to determine the current state of energy efficiency and demand response in key states and provinces that could offer insights to CAMPUT.
