Rural Electric Efficiency Prospects
Rural Electric Efficiency Prospects evaluates the
opportunities to improve the efficiency of electricity
use in the rural areas of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Mainly focused on residential
and commercial buildings that account for 80% of the
electrical load in the Southwest, the report determines
that energy use and associated costs can be reduced by
20-40% by employing a wide range of no-cost, low-cost
and investment-grade energy efficiency measures and
practices. Rural electric cooperatives and municipal
utilities are in the best position to lead the campaign
as they can reap the economic benefits and enhance the
services offered to their customers and members.
