Georgia’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Georgia, asserting that specific policies could save the state $1.9 billion and avoid 12 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Georgia to achieve 73% of its carbon pollution reduction target established under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• 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 avoid more than 12 million tons of carbon dioxide by 2030.
• By 2030, energy efficiency policies are estimated to save Georgians $1.9 billion and reduce air pollution by 89,000 tons of nitrogen oxide and 297,000 tons of sulfur dioxide.
