Top 10 Annual State Energy Realized Savings (MWh) from Energy Efficiency Programs

How to Read This Chart

This table shows annual realized energy efficiency savings by state, measured in megawatt-hours (MWh), for the top 10 states with the highest reported savings. Each row represents a calendar year, and each column shows the total electricity savings achieved in that year from energy efficiency programs within a specific state. Users can search, sort, and scroll horizontally to compare savings across states and years. Larger values indicate states where efficiency programs delivered greater measured reductions in electricity consumption during that year.

Why This Matters

State-level realized savings highlight where energy efficiency programs are delivering the greatest near-term impact. Differences across states reflect variations in program funding, policy support, utility participation, and customer adoption. States with consistently high savings tend to have long-standing efficiency frameworks and broad program reach. This data is important for policymakers, utilities, and regulators evaluating program performance, benchmarking outcomes, and identifying best practices. For researchers and consumers, it provides transparency into how effectively different states are reducing electricity demand through efficiency initiatives and how those efforts evolve over time.

Key Insights

The following highlights are derived directly from the most recent available data in this dataset using standardized calculations. Metrics reflect realized electricity savings among the highest-performing states and are computed from the underlying annual time series. Unless otherwise noted, comparisons are based on the most recent complete reporting year and the prior year. These highlights provide a concise snapshot of state-level efficiency performance.
