Power of Efficiency

This 2009 fact sheet argues that a national energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) could save North Carolina $3 billion and create over 6,000 jobs by 2020, while reducing electricity use by 13% by 2015.

• Implementing a national energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) in North Carolina could result in $3.017 billion in energy savings and the creation of 6,426 net new jobs by 2020.
• North Carolina has the potential to reduce its electricity use by 13% by 2015, which would cover approximately 90% of the anticipated increase in energy demand.
• Energy efficiency is identified as the most cost-effective method for addressing new energy requirements.
