Mississippi’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Mississippi, asserting that specific policies could save the state $873 million and avoid 2.6 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• The implementation of common energy efficiency policies, including private sector energy service contracts, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power, is projected to save 4 million MWh of electricity and avoid 2.6 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Mississippi by 2030.
• Energy efficiency policies are estimated to provide financial savings of $873 million to the people of Mississippi by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically saving 21,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 51,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) by the same year.
• Energy efficiency is presented as a mechanism for Mississippi to meet 100% of its carbon pollution reduction goals under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
