PEABODY, Mass., Jan 06, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Energi, a Massachusetts based Industrial Reinsurance Company, is hosting a symposium style event called Mobilize Energy Efficiency in New England on January 9th 2012 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

Event sponsors include Energi, Carbon War Room, Lockheed Martin, Ygrene Energy Fund, Building Energy Performance Assessment News, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, New England Clean Energy Council, Pipefitters Local 537, Greater Boston Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors, Massachusetts Oilheat Council, Metropolitan Area Planning Council, New England Mechanical Contractors Association, Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resource Defense Council, National Electrical Contractors Association, Energy Future Coalition, Propane Gas Association of New England, Sustainable Real Estate Solutions, National Association of Energy Service Companies and the US Green Building Council -- Massachusetts Chapter.

Energi, as a financial ally to the Department of Energy's Better Buildings Challenge and as a member of the PACE Commercial Consortium, recognized the gap between education and execution and decided to spearhead efforts to promote energy efficiency. "Our main intention in hosting this event is to give stakeholders the enabling tools and mechanisms to invest in energy efficiency. We understand as an organization that action will not take place immediately, but this will be a way to help to generate traction in the market," says CEO Brian K. McCarthy of Energi.

Massachusetts State Senator Brian A. Joyce, who will be speaking in the opening session of the conference, has been a strong advocate of this New England event. "Massachusetts, which was recently named the most energy efficient state according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy's annual scorecard, has already proven that they are willing to invest into energy efficiency. The Mobilize Energy Efficiency event will continue New England's value proposition of investing into energy efficiency and in turn this will create jobs and stimulate growth in the economy."

Energi has played an active role in facilitating energy efficiency financing and supporting market activity. Their program, Energy Savings Warranty (ESW), insures the energy savings guarantees made by energy efficiency contractors.
