Pennsylvania’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency policies in Pennsylvania, asserting that such measures can help the state meet a significant portion of its carbon reduction goals under the EPA's Clean Power Plan while saving residents billions of dollars by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Pennsylvania to achieve over 68% of its carbon pollution reduction target established by the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• A combination of a 1.5% annual energy savings target, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power is projected to save 34 million MWh of electricity and avoid over 20 million tons of carbon dioxide by 2030.
• By 2030, energy efficiency policies are estimated to save Pennsylvania residents $4.7 billion and reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide by 152,000 tons and sulfur dioxide by 443,000 tons.
