Arizona’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Arizona, stating that specific policies could save the state $4.2 billion and avoid 15 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing an annual energy savings target of 1.5%, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power is projected to help Arizona avoid 15 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save more than 24 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
• Energy efficiency policies are estimated to save Arizonans $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.
