Energy Advisory Committeee

In 2001, the COG Board concurred with the Chief Administrative Officer's (CAO) Committee to establish an Energy Advisory Committee to address a wide range of regional energy concerns for local governments.

The dedicated energy group will collect, monitor, and analyze pertinent energy data, and periodically report to and advise the CAO's, COG Board, and other policy and technical committees on energy trends and developments, with special emphasis on energy deregulation and the impact on this region. Other focal areas include the future energy supplies; energy pricing; energy conservation; energy contingency planning; and related issues.

The ultimate charge for the advisory group will be to make recommendations for balancing long-range demand with long-range supply through conservation and new technology.
