Wyoming’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Wyoming, specifically focusing on pollution reduction and cost savings by 2030.

• 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 Wyoming to avoid over 2.6 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) and save more than 4.2 million MWh of electricity by 2030.
• Energy efficiency measures can assist Wyoming in meeting 14% of its carbon pollution reduction goal under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan and are projected to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 24,600 tons and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 22,000 tons by 2030.
• The adoption of these efficiency policies is estimated to save Wyoming residents more than $2 billion on utility bills by 2030.
