Florida’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

A fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlining how energy efficiency policies can reduce pollution, lower costs for residents and government, and support Florida's economy and compliance with federal air regulations.

• Implementing specific energy efficiency policies, including national model building codes, private sector energy service contracts, and 500 MWs of new combined heat and power, could allow Florida to avoid over 18 million tons of carbon dioxide and save more than 30 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
• Energy efficiency measures can help Florida meet 97% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan and reduce other pollutants by 2030, specifically saving 88,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 182,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
• The adoption of efficiency policies is projected to provide financial benefits to the people of Florida totaling $392 million by 2030, which can help reduce electricity costs for vulnerable populations.
