Membership benefits
Government Partners receive the Council’s core membership benefits across:
- Policy and advocacy;

Account management
Government Partners have a dedicated account manager that works directly with them to facilitate collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Council for mutual benefit.
Policy and advocacy
