| According to the EPA's eGRID emissions reporting spreadsheet, In 2005 Arkansas had a state nameplate capacity of 14,609.1 MW generated 47,794,506,560kWh Of those kWh, 3,103,217,700 kWh were from hydropower which is emission free. The Oil, Coal, biomass, and to a lesser extent natural gas power plants had a combined output of: |

|
NOx output emission rate (lb/MWh)
|
1.5906 |
|
AR Average retail cost($/MWh)
|
$90.00+ |
| SO2 output emission rate (lb/MWh) | 2.9766 |
| CO2 output emission rate (lb/MWh) | 1,229.23 |

With the average electricity user in Arkansas using around 1.2MWh monthly(1 MWh = 1,000 kWh) I know we can probably find you ways to save around 5,000 lbs of CO2 from being emitted(2.5MWh) annually for little or no costs and save the money that would have been spent on electricity for enjoyable persuits.
To start, click here for a checklist which you can do yourself and has good links for references on some of the items.
I will be updating so come back frequently for more resources. Or if you have an energy efficiency question or to schedule an energy audit call 479-616-8077 .
