Mississippi’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the potential economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Mississippi, specifically focusing on goals for 2030.

• The implementation of specific energy efficiency policies could enable Mississippi to meet 100% of its carbon pollution reduction goals under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, the combination of national model building codes, private sector energy service contracts, 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).
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide $873 million in savings to the people of Mississippi by 2030, while also reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 21,000 tons and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 51,000 tons.
