Energy Efficiency/ Renewable Energy Impact in the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) Preliminary Report: Integrated Nox Emisions Savings From EE/RE Programs Statewide
Abstract
The Energy Systems Laboratory (Laboratory), at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station of
the Texas A&M University System, in fulfillment of its responsibilities under Texas Health and
Safety Code Ann. § 388.003 (e), submits this annual report, Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy
(EE/RE) Impact in the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (Preliminary Report) to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
This preliminary report shows the NOx emissions reductions from the energy-efficiency
programs from multiple Texas State Agencies working under Senate Bill 5 and Senate Bill 7 in a
uniform format to allow the TCEQ to consider the combined savings for Texas’ State
Implementation Plan (SIP) planning purposes. This required that the analysis should include the
integrated savings estimation from all projects projected through 2020 for both the annual and
Ozone Season Day (OSD)1 NOx reductions. The year of 2008 was used for the baseline year to
estimate the emissions. The NOx emissions reductions from all these programs were calculated
using estimated emissions factors for 2010 from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) eGRID database, which had been specially prepared for this purpose.
