Missouri’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet outlines how energy efficiency policies in Missouri can reduce air pollution, lower energy costs for residents and government buildings, and support economic growth. It highlights that such policies could help the state meet 58% of its EPA Clean Power Plan carbon reduction goal and project that by 2030, specific efficiency measures could save $1.4 billion and avoid 13 million tons of CO2.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Missouri to achieve approximately 58% of its carbon pollution reduction goal as set by the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power would allow Missouri to avoid over 13 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save about 4 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide significant environmental and financial benefits by 2030, including the avoidance of 76,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 243,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), and total savings of $1.4 billion for the people of Missouri.
