Indiana’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
Indiana can achieve significant environmental and economic gains by adopting energy efficiency policies. By 2030, a combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power could avoid over 15 million tons of CO2 and save residents nearly $3 billion.
Key insights
- Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Indiana to achieve approximately 45% of its carbon pollution reduction target under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
- By 2030, the combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power would result in avoiding more than 15 million tons of carbon dioxide and saving over 19 million MWh of electricity.
- Energy efficiency policies are projected to save Indiana residents nearly $3 billion by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically saving 114,000 tons of nitrogen oxide and 413,000 tons of sulfur dioxide.
