Energy efficiency programs have evolved to expand well past simple conservation measures and more efficient equipment, and instead they require customization, innovative thinking, and new strategies to help ensure supply and demand across the grid can stay aligned. In this episode of the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast, Paula Glover, President of the Alliance to Save Energy, expands on what that modern efficiency landscape looks like.

From the traditional realms of conservation to cutting-edge innovations like demand response and virtual power plants, Glover shares with podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester her insights on how utilities and stakeholders can harness these advancements to optimize energy use and grid performance. Moreover, she discusses the imperative of promoting inclusive access to efficiency programs, addressing policy challenges, and combating the undervaluation of energy efficiency within the energy sector. With actionable takeaways for professionals and a look at how energy efficiency might feature in upcoming elections, this conversation offers a comprehensive exploration of the critical role efficiency plays in the energy transition landscape.
