Wisconsin’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of prioritizing energy efficiency in Wisconsin, specifically regarding carbon pollution goals and cost savings by 2030.

• Implementing a small number of popular energy efficiency policies could enable Wisconsin to achieve 83% of its carbon pollution reduction target established under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of 500 MWs of new combined heat and power, national model building codes, and annual energy savings of 1% would allow Wisconsin to avoid approximately 11 million tons of carbon dioxide and save over 14 million MWh of electricity.
• Energy efficiency policies are projected to provide $2.5 billion in savings for the people of Wisconsin by 2030, while also reducing 405,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and 98,000 tons of nitrogen oxide (NOx).
