DESCRIPTION:The Stanford Energy Seminar has been a mainstay of energy engag
 ement at Stanford for nearly 20 years and is one of the flagship programs 
 of the Precourt Institute for Energy. We aim to bring a wide variety of pe
 rspectives to the Stanford community – academics\, entrepreneurs\, utili
 ties\, non-profits\, and more. \n\nTalk Abstract\n\nCalifornia has pioneer
 ed energy efficiency for more than six decades\, transforming it into a pr
 ofessionalized practice and global model. After 20+ years of flat electric
 ity demand\, load growth is returning—driven by electrification\, digita
 lization\, and new industries—making efficiency more essential than ever
 .\nToday’s efficiency goes beyond traditional savings. It now includes g
 rid-interactive strategies that use digital communications\, advanced cont
 rols\, automation\, and aggregation to align demand with system needs. By 
 making buildings and devices dynamic participants in the grid\, efficiency
  strengthens reliability\, integrates renewables\, and accelerates decarbo
 nization\, and even puts downward pressure on electric rates. \nThis talk 
 will trace the evolution of efficiency\, highlight California’s leadersh
 ip\, and show how this ever-renewable resource continues to shape a sustai
 nable energy future.\n\nSpeaker Bio \n\nAndrew McAllister was first appoin
 ted to the California Energy Commission in 2012\, and in 2022 was reappoin
 ted by Governor Newsom to a third term. Commissioner McAllister leads the 
 areas of building decarbonization\, energy efficiency and load flexibility
 . He has worked on the clean energy transition for more than three decades
 \, in numerous countries partnering with counterparts ranging from tiny re
 mote communities to large utilities. Commissioner McAllister has served in
  numerous leadership roles including at the Western Interstate Energy Boar
 d\, the National Association of State energy Officials\, the Smart Electri
 c Power Alliance\, and Camp Kesem at UC Davis. He holds M.S. and Ph.D. deg
 rees from the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California\,
  Berkeley\, and B.A. from Dartmouth College. He served as a U.S. Peace Cor
 ps volunteer.\n\n \n\nAnyone with an interest in energy is welcome to join
 ! You can enjoy seminars in the following ways:\n\nAttend live. The audito
