Ohio’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future
Summary
The fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Ohio, asserting that specific policies could help the state meet 78% of its carbon pollution goals under the EPA's Clean Power Plan and save residents $7.4 billion by 2030.
Key insights
- Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Ohio to achieve 78% of its carbon pollution reduction target established by 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 to the people of Ohio by 2030, while also reducing nitrogen oxide by 193,000 tons and sulfur dioxide by 708,000 tons.
