Tennessee’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Tennessee, asserting that specific policies can help the state meet carbon pollution goals and save residents money.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Tennessee to achieve 48% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of private sector energy service contracts, national model building codes, and 100 MWs of new combined heat and power could prevent more than 6.3 million tons of CO2 emissions and save over 8.6 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to save Tennessee residents $689 million by 2030 and reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide by 42,000 tons and sulfur dioxide by 125,000 tons by the same year.
