The House and Senate Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) Caucuses are bipartisan groups originally formed in the late 1990s to increase awareness of renewable energy and energy efficiency (REEE) technologies in the United States. These caucuses do not lobby for specific legislation.
The House Renewable Energy Caucus was launched in February 1996 by Congressman Dan Schaefer (R-CO) and six other Members of Congress: Representatives Vern Ehlers (R-MI), Scott Klug (R-WI), David Minge (D-MN), Bill Richardson (D-NM), Matt Salmon (R-AZ), and Karen Thurman (D-FL).
The Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus was officially established in May 1998 by Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) and fellow founding members Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Tim Johnson (D-SD). Its mission statement is: "We strive to increase awareness of the various forms of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in the United States. As a bipartisan group of Senators, representing all parts of the country, this Caucus does not take positions on any issues or legislation."
EESI regularly collaborates with both caucuses.
