David Gardiner & Associates has been featured as the Virginia Energy Efficiency Council Member of the Month for October. Specifically, the article highlights Virginia findings from a recent Alliance for Industrial Efficiency report:
“A new report by the Alliance for Industrial Efficiency (a project of VAEEC member David Gardiner and Associates) finds that Virginia could reduce carbon emissions by over 2.5 million tons annually by 2030 from industrial energy efficiency – nearly equal to the emissions from a coal-fired power plant – and save the Commonwealth’s businesses over $4 billion on their electricity bills in the process. Industrial energy efficiency could achieve nearly one-third (31 percent) of Virginia’s emission reductions called for under EPA’s Clean Power Plan. Nationwide, industrial efficiency and CHP/WHP could save more than 396 megawatt hours of electricity; 174 short tons of carbon dioxide (the equivalent of 46 coal-fired power plants); and $298 billion in utility bill savings.”
