Wyoming’s Path to an Energy-Efficient Future

The document outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Wyoming, specifically highlighting how an annual energy savings target of 1.5%, national model building codes, and 40 MWs of new combined heat and power could avoid 2.6 million tons of CO2 and save residents over $2 billion by 2030.

• Implementing specific energy efficiency policies can assist Wyoming in meeting 14% of its carbon pollution reduction goal 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 over 2.6 million tons of carbon dioxide and saving more than 4.2 million MWh of electricity.
• The proposed efficiency policies are projected to save Wyoming residents more than $2 billion on utility bills by 2030, while also reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 24,600 tons and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 22,000 tons.
