Indiana’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Indiana, specifically regarding carbon pollution reduction and cost savings by 2030.
Key insights
- Implementing specific energy efficiency policies can assist Indiana in meeting approximately 45% of its carbon pollution reduction target established under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
- By 2030, a combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power could prevent more than 15 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save over 19 million MWh of electricity in Indiana.
- Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide nearly $3 billion in savings for the people of Indiana by 2030, while also reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 114,000 tons and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 413,000 tons by the same year.
