Utah’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Utah, stating that specific policies could save residents $5.8 billion on utility bills and avoid 4 million tons of CO2 by 2030.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Utah to achieve 47% of its carbon pollution reduction goal established under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of a 1.5% annual energy savings target, national model building codes, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power would result in avoiding 4 million tons of carbon dioxide and saving approximately 9 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to save Utah residents $5.8 billion on utility bills by 2030 and reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide by nearly 38,000 tons each by the same year.
