Information
Organization's Own Description:
The House and Senate Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) Caucuses are bipartisan groups originally formed in the late 1990s to increase awareness of renewable energy and energy efficiency (REEE) technologies in the United States. These caucuses do not lobby for specific legislation.
The House Renewable Energy Caucus was launched in February 1996 by Congressman Dan Schaefer (R-CO) and six other Members of Congress: Representatives Vern Ehlers (R-MI), Scott Klug (R-WI), David Minge (D-MN), Bill Richardson (D-NM), Matt Salmon (R-AZ), and Karen Thurman (D-FL).
EESI was involved in the founding of both the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (REEE) Caucuses. In the mid 1990s, EESI approached Congressional offices that were interested in renewable energy and energy efficiency issues and discussed the formation of bipartisan caucuses to promote such issues in federal policymaking. While the caucuses do not lobby for specific legislation, they regularly and effectively disseminate information about renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Such information helps inspire and muster support for clean energy legislation.
EESI regularly collaborates with both Caucuses as a way to distribute information about renewable energy and energy efficiency. In particular, EESI works with the Caucuses to co-sponsor briefings on key energy and environmental issues. The Caucuses' headline event is the Congressional Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency EXPO + Forum held every year in early summer and organized by the Sustainable Energy Coalition, of which EESI is a member.
