New Mexico’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in New Mexico, stating that specific policies could save residents $645 million and avoid 3.8 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable New Mexico to achieve 78% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of a 1.5% annual energy savings target, national model building codes, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power would result in avoiding over 3.8 million tons of carbon dioxide and saving more than 6.2 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to save New Mexicans $645 million by 2030 and reduce other pollutants, specifically saving 36,000 tons of nitrogen oxide and 15,000 tons of sulfur dioxide by the same year.
