Missouri’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Missouri, stating that specific policies could save residents $1.4 billion and significantly reduce carbon and air pollutants by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Missouri to achieve approximately 58% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under 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 and save about 4 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to save Missourians $1.4 billion by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically saving 76,000 tons of nitrogen oxide and 243,000 tons of sulfur dioxide.
