PG&E Announces Energy Efficieny Coalition

VMblog and Computerworld have brought to my attention the news that PG&E has announced "a nationwide coalition of utilities to discuss and coordinate energy efficiency programs for the high tech sector, focusing on data centers."

Also from PG&E's press release (emphasis mine):

Data centers can use up to one hundred times the energy per square foot of typical office space, so the energy efficiency opportunities are significant. "A customer choosing from our menu of programs, which include cooling system improvements, high-efficiency power conditioning equipment retrofits, airflow management tune-ups, virtualization, and replacement of computing and data storage equipment with the latest technologies can generally drive a third to as much as half of the energy use out of their operations," according to Bramfitt.
