AEE President’s Message for 2025: Clean Energy Future

As we enter 2025, I’m encouraged by IEA’s report that clean technologies now command $2 trillion of the $3 trillion global energy investment. While this signals a promising shift, we must accelerate our efforts to meet 2050 climate goals.

The IEA emphasizes that doubling energy efficiency improvements by 2030 is crucial. As the most cost-effective resource for emissions reduction, energy efficiency can drive both climate action and job creation. While AI presents new opportunities to optimize energy consumption and reduce transaction costs, particularly for small and mid-sized businesses, we must thoughtfully navigate its integration into our field.

AEE continues to evolve beyond training and certification, actively participating in global forums like COP to advocate for our energy community. As your incoming President, I will focus on two priorities:

1. Expanding our global presence through regional conferences and enhanced collaboration between international chapters
2. Leading a worldwide campaign to showcase how energy efficiency drives climate action, cost savings, and economic growth

I invite all members to engage more deeply with your local chapters. Share your passion projects, present at conferences, and help us demonstrate the transformative power of energy efficiency.

Together, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future.
