Energy Task Force

The Governor’s Task Force on Energy Policy developed a state energy plan to facilitate energy efficiency and the use of alternative and renewable fuels in Tennessee. The energy plan provided a summary of opportunities for the state government to use an energy-efficient approach to purchasing and managing the state vehicle fleet; prospective policies, legislation, and incentives to encourage energy efficiency; possible public-private partnerships to encourage research and development of clean energy technologies; and strategies for expanding the use of alternative and renewable fuels. A final report was published in February 2009. (Reference Executive Order 54, 2008)
