WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Council
for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 2018 State
Energy Efficiency Scorecard yesterday, and once again,
National Grid's service area in three states — Mass., R.I.,
and N.Y.—all ranked among the top ten in energy efficiency.
Massachusetts ranked number one
for the eighth year in a row, with R.I. ranked third, and N.Y.
moving from seventh in 2017 to sixth this year. Additionally, in
their most recent rankings, ACEEE named R.I. and Mass. as top
states with utility-sector energy-efficiency programs and
policies.
"National Grid is proud to provide nation-leading energy
efficiency programs that consistently rank in ACEEE's top ten and
offer tangible savings to over 7 million customers – both
residential and commercial – across Mass., R.I., and N.Y.," said
Dean Seavers, President of National
Grid, U.S. "Energy efficiency programs consistently prove to be a
cost-effective way to ensure that the 20 million people whose lives
we power are able to take part in our clean energy future."
National Grid is also proud to partner with the Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to promote Energy Efficiency Day
2018 (#EEDay2018), which is today, October
5, 2018. In its third year, Energy Efficiency Day is an
opportunity to showcase the benefits of efficiency. National Grid
is urging customers to visit the #EEDay2018 website
(www.energyefficiencyday.org) to learn ways to support national,
state, and regional energy efficiency efforts by advocating on
social media using the hashtag #EEDay2018 and with their elected
officials. NRDC also has helpful tips for customers to save money
on their bills through energy efficiency, which can be found

Leading by example, National Grid is offering its employees and
its customers special deals on efficiency products – like Nest
Learning Thermostats and LED light bulbs – on Energy Efficiency
Day. The company also urges its customers to visit the National
