Mississippi has built a solid foundation for energy efficiency in the last year, such as the passing of energy efficiency rules at the Mississippi Public Service Commission and the adoption of ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standards for commercial building energy codes. The intent of this report is to identify strategic, actionable opportunities for Mississippi to consider to expand and perpetuate its energy efficiency efforts over the next decade.
This report examines the potential energy savings and economic growth that Mississippi could realize from the implementation of a suite of sixteen programs and policies between 2014 and 2025. The report finds that Mississippi can cost-effectively meet 4.4% and 3.2% of its electricity and natural gas demand by 2020, growing to 12.8% and 9.8% by 2025. The macroeconomic assessment finds that, by 2025, these savings will result in $4.3 billion in net economic output, including $1.1 billion in wages, $825 million in income to small business owners, 32,800 person-years of employment, and increased state and local tax revenue by $80 million.
Our analysis finds that, as the least-cost resource, energy efficiency will benefit all customers and play a major role in bolstering economic development. With sustained leadership in the public and private sectors as well as effective policy and program implementation, Mississippi will undoubtedly be successful.
The commonwealth spends almost $11 billion a year buying energy from out of state. Mass Save lowers bills and keeps money at home.
Utility energy efficiency programs have increased investment in low-income households, but significant gaps remain. This report examines spending and savings trends across 48 major U.S. utilities, identifies barriers to expanding low-income programs and highlights policies and program strategies that can improve energy affordability and equitable access to efficiency upgrades.
This report identifies pathways for India’s cement industry to decarbonise at a pace compatible with the national climate goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.
The United States faces interlocking energy challenges: rising home energy bills and gasoline prices; new demand for electricity from data centers and other loads; high greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Now, a new era of energy efficiency progress in our buildings, transportation, and industry is needed to meet this moment. This wide-ranging study finds a massive opportunity.
