Florida’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Florida, asserting that specific policies could save the state $392 million and avoid 18 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Florida to achieve 97% of its carbon pollution reduction goal established under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, the combination of national model building codes, private sector energy service contracts, and 500 MWs of new combined heat and power is projected to save over 30 million MWh of electricity and avoid more than 18 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
• Energy efficiency policies are estimated to save Florida residents $392 million by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically saving 88,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 182,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
