Power of Efficiency

A fact sheet detailing the potential economic, employment, and environmental benefits of implementing a national energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) in Florida.

• The implementation of a national energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) in Florida could result in $14 billion in savings and the creation of nearly 20,000 new jobs.
• Florida has the potential to reduce its electricity consumption by 16% by 2015, which would cover roughly 57% of the projected increase in demand.
• Based on ACEEE's March 2009 EERS analysis for a 15% electricity savings target and a 10% natural gas savings target by 2020, the projected outcomes include annual electricity savings of 33,553 GWh, peak demand savings equivalent to 36 300 MW power plants, $14,007 million in energy savings, 19,754 net jobs created, and 20.6 million metric tons of CO2 emission savings.
