Alabama’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet outlines how energy efficiency policies in Alabama could save residents $939 million and avoid 4.6 million tons of CO2 by 2030, while helping the state meet 25% of its EPA Clean Power Plan carbon reduction goal.

• Implementing specific energy efficiency policies—including national model building codes, private sector energy service contracts, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power—could allow Alabama to avoid 4.6 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save over 6.5 million MWh of electricity by 2030. These policies could also help the state meet 25% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, energy efficiency policies are projected to save the people of Alabama $939 million and reduce air pollution by 30,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 99,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
