Energy Expos
Energy Expos are collaborative events that bring together energy stakeholders with policymakers to find common ground in supporting and advancing energy efficiency policies and programs in the Midwest. These events provide manufacturers, retailers, utilities, non-profits, and energy service companies with the opportunity to highlight what their respective organizations are doing to promote energy efficient practices. The multi-faceted group of exhibitors also demonstrates the economic development potential of energy efficient technologies, programs and policies.
MEEA has hosted several Energy Expos throughout the region, most recently in Madison, WI (October, 2011). Past Energy Expos have been held in Columbus, OH (May, 2011), Springfield, IL (March, 2009), Columbus, OH (June, 2009), Lansing, MI (2003 & 2007), Springfield, IL (2003) and Indianapolis, IN (2003).

2011 Ohio Energy Expo
 The 2011 Ohio Energy Expo was held on Wednesday, May 11th, on the West Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse. The event was hosted by MEEA, and sponsored by JACO Environmental Inc. and The Energy Foundation. The event showcased over 25 exhibitors, including energy service companies, utilities, manufacturers, retailers, and non-profits to display the importance and the economic development potential of energy efficiency policies in Ohio.
Specifically, the Ohio Energy Expo highlighted the impact of Senate Bill 221. This 2008 landmark legislation established an Energy Efficiency Resource Standard for the state’s investor-owned utilities and helped the state create economic opportunity, add jobs, and save money for customers across the state. The Ohio Energy Expo also featured representatives from Ohio’s three major utilities, AEP, Duke, and Dayton Power & Light. Each utility spoke on their energy efficiency programs, which resulted in a combined savings of more than 850,000 MWh in 2009-2010. These programs will save their customers an estimated $351 million over the life of the measures.
The event was attended by legislators, commissioners, regulators, MEEA Members and guests. Attendees heard presentations from MEEA’s Executive Director Jay Wrobel, as well as Beth Gianforcaro from the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, Greg Tiernan of Duke Energy, Michelle Cross of AEP Ohio, and Kara McMillen of Dayton Power & Light.
