Evans School student Sameer Ranade shared his progress in answering the research question of his Degree Project on how to encourage the use of energy efficiency as an alternative resource in Washington State. In light of pressing concerns about global warming, air and water pollution, and the degradation of our natural resources, Ranade emphasizes that developing a more robust energy efficiency policy is a critical solution. Ranade discusses the progress of implementing Washington State's current energy efficiency resource standard, I-937, and also provides an explanation of the current utility structure in Washington State. Ranade notes the drawbacks to the current system in which electrical rates are governed, and proposes new solutions as part of his research.
