Arkansas’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Arkansas, stating that specific policies could save the state $441 million and avoid 6.4 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Arkansas to achieve 50% of its carbon pollution reduction goal 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 CO2 and save more than 11.9 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to save Arkansas residents $441 million by 2030 and reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide by 61,000 tons and sulfur dioxide by 69,000 tons.
