Arkansas’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Arkansas, specifically in the context of meeting federal air regulations and the EPA's Clean Power Plan.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Arkansas to achieve 50% of its carbon pollution reduction goal established under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of 1.5% annual energy savings, national model building codes, private sector energy service contracts, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power would allow Arkansas to avoid over 6.4 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save more than 11.9 million MWh of electricity.
• The adoption of efficiency policies is projected to save the people of Arkansas $441 million by 2030, while also reducing 61,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 69,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) by the same year.
