Abstract
This summary 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 2026 for both the annual and Ozone
Season Period (OSP)1 NOx reductions. The year 2018 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 2018 from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA)
eGRID database, which had been specially prepared for this purpose.
