Learn More About us

“For more than thirty years now, California has urgently needed a broadly-based and effectively led coalition to represent the nation’s most productive energy efficiency delivery system, and The California Efficiency and Demand Management Council feels like an answered prayer.”

Ralph CavanaghEnergy Program Co-Director - Natural Resources Defense Council

“Energy efficiency is developing rapidly as a business sector in this state. CEDMC will accelerate this movement, something we can all support.”

Nicole BiggartDirector - UC Davis Energy Center

“California has been at the forefront of energy efficiency for decades, out-preforming all other states in the nation. California is still the land of opportunity, particularly for businesses that can see the gold hidden in new ideas, technologies, and daily practices, as well as the local talent hungry to provide the expertise to advance the way we do business. The Council recognizes that a vigorous economy and green business practices go hand in hand, and works to connect businesses with the resources they need to run a sustainable enterprise – moving the state, and the nation, toward energy independence, job growth and air quality improvement.”

Mary NicholsChairman - California Air Resources Board

“As an employment strategy energy efficiency wins hands down. CEDMC brings together the full range of businesses providing energy efficiency goods and services, creating green jobs and protecting all of us against the rising energy prices. Given California’s worldwide leadership in efficiency, it makes perfect sense that this sector finally has an association to effectively represent themselves and strengthen efficiency policies economy wide.”

Nancy SkinnerMember of the California State Senate from the 9th district

“The opportunities and benefits of energy efficiency are very broad yet they are under-represented historically. CEDMC plays a unique role in helping California’s emerging efficiency businesses build their businesses through better policies and better visibility in the marketplace.”
