The same creative energy that guides our artists, writers and musicians also inspires our innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs.
The State Energy Management Law of 1981, revised as Senate Bill 3113 (pdf) in the 1998 Mississippi Regular Session, provides for the development and implementation of a state energy management plan for all state-owned or state-leased buildings and facilities. This program is designed to promote energy efficiency in state-owned or leased buildings and facilities by training energy management personnel to monitor and control energy consumption.
The Energy Division is mandated to monitor the agencies' energy consumption levels and provide technical assistance in the development and implementation of energy management plans. The State Energy Management Program or SEMP is a customer focused organization that not only provides technical assistance and support, but also the training necessary to successfully implement energy management projects. When SEMP succeeds, agencies and institutions have the skills, the means, and the initiative to undertake projects that use energy more efficiently, and that promote the use of renewable resources. A long term benefit of these activities is building an infrastructure in State agencies that institutionalizes energy efficiency as a good business practice.
