North Dakota’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in North Dakota, asserting that such measures can reduce carbon pollution, save residents money, and improve public health. It specifically highlights the potential for North Dakota to meet over 20% of its carbon reduction goals under the EPA's Clean Power Plan through popular efficiency policies.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable North Dakota to achieve more than 20% of its carbon pollution reduction goal established 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 could prevent over 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions and save more than 3.1 million MWh of electricity in North Dakota.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to save North Dakota residents $335 million by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically 26,000 tons of nitrogen oxide and 52,000 tons of sulfur dioxide.
