Abstract :
Portfolio managers, both public and private, can face conflicts of interest with energy efficiency when cost recovery and profits are tied to sales volume, but this problem can be solved. Regulators and utilities in states such as California, New York, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho are implementing policies that remove disincentives for investments in cost-effective energy efficiency and distributed resources.
