Utah’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Utah, highlighting their role in meeting federal air regulations and reducing utility costs.

• Implementing specific energy efficiency policies—including an annual energy savings target of 1.5%, national model building codes, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power—could allow Utah to avoid 4 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save approximately 9 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
• Energy efficiency policies can assist Utah in meeting 47% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan and are projected to save nearly 38,000 tons each of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 2030.
• Increasing energy productivity through efficiency policies is estimated to save Utah residents $5.8 billion on utility bills by 2030.
