Alabama’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the environmental and economic benefits of energy efficiency in Alabama, specifically highlighting how policies like energy service contracts and building codes can help the state meet carbon reduction goals and save residents money by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Alabama to achieve 25% of its carbon pollution reduction target under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, the combination of national model building codes, private sector energy service contracts, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power is projected to save over 6.5 million MWh of electricity and avoid 4.6 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
• Energy efficiency policies are estimated to save Alabamians $939 million by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, including 30,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 99,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
