Abstract
The increase in the use of state policy to drive energy efficiency and renewable energy market transformation is leading to extensive research on determining the best policies and policy designs to achieve this goal. There is growing interest in quantifying the connection between policies and development. This report uses statistical methods to better quantify the connection between a broad array of energy efficiency and renewable energy (collectively known as clean energy) policy and actual reductions in energy use and increases in renewable resource development. Using a multi-faceted dataset including policies, socioeconomic factors, and electricity information, ordinary least-squares regression is used to identify relationships between policy implementation and development.
