Between 1982 and 2006, Austin Energy's energy efficiency programs offset the need to build a 700 megawatt (MW) power plant. This became known as Austin Energy's first conservation power plant. In 2007, Austin Energy kicked off a new goal with the Austin Climate Protection Plan, which is to offset another 800 MW of peak energy demand by 2020. Between 2007 and 2012, Austin Energy has offset an additional 318 MW which is 40% of the 800 MW goal.

Note: Total participation does not include GB commercial square foot.

Austin Energy's energy efficiency programs help reduce the amount of air-polluting emissions released by power plants into the atmosphere. In fiscal year 2012, more than 70,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide was avoided. This helps meet Austin Climate Protection Plan goals by avoiding increases in power plant emissions.

This report is the result of the Austin City Code 6-7’s Energy Conservation Audit and Disclosure Ordinance approved in November 2008 (amended in April 2011) to improve the energy efficiency of homes and buildings that receive electricity from Austin Energy. The ordinance meets one of the goals of the Austin Climate Protection Plan, which is to offset 800 megawatts of peak energy demand by 2020. In addition, this report contains information on multi-family properties older than 10 years that are required to perform an energy audit and report the results to the City of Austin and all residents living in those communities. The Austin Energy report quantifies the 2015 energy efficiency findings and the progress towards meeting City Council goals of Resolution 20081106-048.
