Montana’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Montana, specifically highlighting how targeted policies could save $84 million and avoid 1.4 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing a set of energy efficiency policies, including an annual energy savings target of 1.5%, national model building codes, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power, would allow Montana to avoid over 1.4 million tons of carbon dioxide and save more than 3.3 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
• Energy efficiency measures can assist Montana in meeting over 19% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, energy efficiency policies are projected to save Montanans $84 million and reduce air pollution by 15,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 15,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
