Ohio’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
A fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlining the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Ohio, specifically regarding carbon pollution goals and air quality.
Key insights
- Implementing specific energy efficiency policies could enable Ohio to achieve 78% of its carbon pollution reduction target established under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
- By 2030, a combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 500 MWs of new combined heat and power would allow Ohio to avoid over 22 million tons of carbon dioxide and save more than 28 million MWh of electricity.
- Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide $7.4 billion in savings for the people of Ohio by 2030, while reducing nitrogen oxide by 193,000 tons and sulfur dioxide by 708,000 tons in the same timeframe.
