The Alliance to Save Energy is a bipartisan, nonprofit coalition of business, government, environmental, and consumer groups based in Washington, D.C. The Alliance states that it advocates for "energy-efficiency policies that minimize costs to society and individual consumers, and that lessen greenhouse gas emissions and their impact on the global climate."[1] The Alliance's chief activities include public relations, research, and lobbying[2] to change U.S. energy policy.

The Alliance was established on March 18, 1977,[3] with the support of then U.S. President Jimmy Carter.[4] It was the initiative of Senators Charles Percy (R-Ill.) and Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.).[5]
