Governor's Energy Challenge 2020

The Governor's Energy Challenge is a unique initiative to help Georgians conserve energy and track how much we can all save together. The Governor has committed all state agencies to reduce energy consumption in facilities 15% by 2020. Now he's challenging everyone in Georgia to do the same. You can do your part by using the easy, interactive energy modeling tools on this site to help reduce your energy use with no-cost, low-cost, and longer-term options. Your pledge will not only help save money on your energy bills, it will help the state attain national recognition for our commitment to energy conservation.

The Governor's Energy Challenge is a program of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA). GEFA is a state agency that administers a wide variety of programs that provide financial assistance and other support services to improve Georgia's environment. GEFA's program focus areas are water, wastewater, solid waste, land conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and fuel storage tanks for local governments, other state agencies, and non-profit organizations.

The Division of Energy Resources was legislatively attached to GEFA in 1994. The Division serves as the State Energy Office for Georgia and promotes energy efficiency, renewable energy, and energy assistance programs to improve environmental quality, stimulate sustainable economic development, and strengthen the quality of life for all Georgians.
