A Balanced Energy Plan for the Interior West
Adding significant amounts of renewable energy resources and energy efficiency measures to the Western power grid between now and 2020 would reduce regional electricity costs by billions of dollars, according to a study by Western Resource Advocates. The study, “A Balanced Energy Plan for the Interior West,” concludes that using more renewables and efficiency in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, and Montana would also create a more secure business climate by reducing economic and environmental risk. In some risk scenarios, the region could save $5 billion annually by adopting a more balanced plan.
