Nevada’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Nevada, specifically highlighting potential savings and pollution reductions by 2030.
Key insights
- Implementing common energy efficiency policies could enable Nevada to meet 100% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
- Achieving annual energy savings of 1% in Nevada would result in the avoidance of over 2.6 million tons of carbon dioxide and the saving of more than 4.8 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
- By 2030, energy efficiency policies are projected to save the people of Nevada $466 million and reduce air pollution by 27,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 16,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2).
