Georgia’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Georgia, specifically focusing on goals for 2030.

• Implementing specific energy efficiency policies could allow Georgia to achieve 73% of its carbon pollution reduction target 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 17 million MWh of electricity and prevent more than 12 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
• Energy efficiency policies are estimated to save Georgia's residents $1.9 billion by 2030 and reduce air pollution by 89,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 297,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) by the same year.
