A coalition of organizations encourages Nevada to maximize energy efficiency to reduce emissions and costs. They recommend opting into the Clean Energy Incentive Program and implementing policies like updated building codes and combined heat and power generation, which could potentially meet over 100 percent of the state's 2030 emissions limit under the Clean Power Plan while saving residents $466 million.

• Energy efficiency is presented as the most cost-effective and fastest method for reducing emissions and controlling electricity bills, offering local job creation and improved air quality.
• The authors criticize recent state actions that reduced support for energy efficiency, specifically the cutting of NV Energys LED lighting and efficient pool pump programs.
• Beyond utility programs, the document identifies non-utility opportunities for emissions reductions, including combined heat and power generation, green building certifications, residential retrofit financing, and energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs).
• The coalition recommends that Nevada opt into the Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP) to maximize cost-effective emissions reductions.
• Implementing a combination of energy-savings targets, updated building codes, and combined heat and power generation could meet over 100 percent of Nevada's 2030 emissions limit, potentially saving the state $466 million and avoiding over 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide.
