Oklahoma’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet outlines the potential economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Oklahoma, specifically focusing on goals for 2030 and compliance with federal air regulations.

• Implementing a selection of popular energy efficiency policies could enable Oklahoma to achieve 87% of its carbon pollution reduction goal as established under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, Oklahoma could avoid over 10 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save more than 12 million MWh of electricity if the state achieves 1% annual energy savings, utilizes national model building codes, continues investing in energy service contracts, and adds 40 MWs of new combined heat and power.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide $288 million in savings for the people of Oklahoma by 2030, while also reducing air pollution by 96,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 170,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) by the same year.
