NEEA and the utilities of the Northwest are taking a collaborative approach to Strategic Energy Management (SEM). The NW SEM Collaborative was formed in 2011 based on the premise that the region can achieve more working together than can any single utility or organization working alone. The NW SEM Collaborative aims to help energy efficiency program administrators accelerate the adoption of SEM in the industrial and commercial sectors.
NW SEM Collaborative Vision: Innovative energy practices make the NW a global industrial powerhouse
NW SEM Collaborative Goals:
1.Strategic planning: Provide long-term direction for the NW SEM community
2.Solution improvement: Enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of NW SEM offerings
3.Program innovation: Increase the reach of industrial NW SEM programs
4.Knowledge transfer: Broaden and deepen the extended SEM community’s capabilities and skillsets
