While West Virginia was recognized on the ACEEE website for the fact that the utilities have begun implementing energy efficiency programs, those programs have been criticized for falling far short of those in surrounding states.
ACEEE develops its scorecard based on a detailed database of state energy policies that is maintained by a network of 200 participants in every state that are close to policy development. Weights attached to various policies are be adjusted over time with input from the network. More details are available here.
The scorecard may be found online at http://aceee.org/sector/state-policy/scorecard.
