To systematically address critical needs in the state, the South Carolina Energy Office has focused its 2006-2007 Strategic Plan on efforts to assist the public sector, including state agencies, school districts, colleges and universities, and local governments. Public sector assistance provides maximum benefit to our citizens, as improvements in operating efficiency allow more resources to be spent on programs to better our state. The Strategic Plan concentrates on six areas: Energy Efficiency and Conservation in Facilities, Transportation Conservation and Diversification, Energy Information and Awareness, Renewable Energy and Utilities, Radioactive Waste Disposal Program and an Innovative and Supportive Work Environment. Each of these program areas increases the productivity of the public sector while providing energy information and policy guidance for the public at large.
