Economic Impacts of Energy Efficiency Analyzing the Effects of Regional and State-Level Investments

Agenda

• Background• Analysis Method • Findings• Conclusions

Section 1: Background

To explore current clean energy employment in the Midwest region as well as jobs created, energy saved,

greenhouse gas emissions avoided, and the impacts on the regional income as a

result of utility investment in energy efficiency

Project Goal

Study OverviewMEEA commissioned a study of the economic impacts of energy efficiency investments• Analyzed regional and state-level

program activities– Midwest Region– Michigan, Ohio, Indiana

• Estimated impacts on four economic indicators– Employment– Income– Economic Value Added– Sales

Section 4: Conclusions

Study Conclusions• 2014 Midwest EE investments create

jobs, boost personal income, and increase spending– Nearly 105,000 jobs created– Almost $8.8 billion boost to personal income– Over $13.7 billion of value to regional

economy– About $23 billion in regional sales generated

• Program-year activities generate substantial positive impacts, and additional positive impacts result from sustained energy savings lasting most of the study period

• Most impacts are local, but neighboring economies benefit as well
