Wisconsin’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Wisconsin. It asserts that such measures can help the state meet a significant portion of its carbon pollution goals under the EPA's Clean Power Plan while providing substantial financial savings for residents and government entities.

• Implementing popular energy efficiency policies could enable Wisconsin to achieve 83% of its carbon pollution reduction target established by the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
• By 2030, a combination of 1% annual energy savings, national model building codes, and 500 MWs of new combined heat and power 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 save the people of Wisconsin $2.5 billion by 2030 and reduce air pollution by 98,000 tons of nitrogen oxide and 405,000 tons of sulfur dioxide by the same year.
