Arizona’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Arizona, specifically focusing on pollution reduction and cost savings by 2030.
Key insights
- Implementing specific energy efficiency policies—including a 1.5% annual energy savings target, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power—could allow Arizona to avoid 15 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save over 24 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
- Energy efficiency policies are projected to save the people of Arizona $4.2 billion by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically 148,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 64,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
- The adoption of popular energy efficiency policies can enable Arizona to meet 100% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
