Public Health Benefits per Kilowatt-Hour of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in the United States: A Technical Report
EPA has developed a set of values that help state and local government policymakers and other stakeholders estimate the monetized public health benefits of investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and photovoltaic-plus-energy storage systems (EE/RE/ES+). These benefits-per-kilowatt-hour (BPK) values are reasonable approximations of the air quality benefits associated with EE/RE/ES+ investments. They can be used for preliminary analysis when comparing state and local policy scenarios.
To access the BPK values and to learn more about how they were derived, please read the Third Edition of the technical report, updated with 2023 data.
