As of November 2007, over 90 public statements and commitments by 120 organizations have been made to advance energy efficiency under the National Action Plan. These stakeholders include over 30 utilities, 40 state and local agencies, and numerous large energy users, environmental groups, trade associations and others. These stakeholder statements are documented in the Public Statements & Commitments in Support of the Action Plan. For information on success of commitments to date, read the Commitments page.
