activate energy efficiency projects throughout the New England region.

mechanisms to invest in energy efficiency. We understand as an

be a way to help to generate traction in the market”

Energi, as a financial ally to the Department of Energy’s Better
Buildings Challenge and as a member of the PACE Commercial Consortium,
recognized the gap between education and execution and decided to
spearhead efforts to promote energy efficiency. “Our main intention in
hosting this event is to give stakeholders the enabling tools and
mechanisms to invest in energy efficiency. We understand as an
organization that action will not take place immediately, but this will
be a way to help to generate traction in the market,” says CEO Brian K.
McCarthy of Energi.
Massachusetts State Senator Brian A. Joyce, who will be speaking in the
opening session of the conference, has been a strong advocate of this
New England event. “Massachusetts, which was recently named the most
energy efficient state according to the American Council for an
Energy-Efficient Economy’s annual scorecard, has already proven that
they are willing to invest into energy efficiency. The Mobilize Energy
Efficiency event will continue New England’s value proposition of
investing into energy efficiency and in turn this will create jobs and
stimulate growth in the economy.”
Energi has played an active role in facilitating energy efficiency
financing and supporting market activity. Their program, Energy Savings
Warranty (ESW), insures the energy savings guarantees made by energy
efficiency contractors. For more information about the Mobilize Energy
