A review of Montana's proposed conservation plan was completed. The impact of the Montana plan, as a whole, will be - if successful - to reduce the state's 1980 energy consumption by 19.502 trillion BTU; of this 12.512 trillion BTU will be non-electrical and 6.99 trillion BTU will come from fuels used to generate electricity. This, measured against the FEA 1980 baseline projection for Montana of 370.54 trillion Btu, equals savings of about 5.3%. Montana's projected 1980 consumption and SECP savings represent about 0.5% of the national total. The required program measures account for 15.33 trillion Btu or 64% of total savings. The required measures deal with state building codes and thermal efficiency standards, lighting standards for public buildings, life cycle cost analysis (procurement), increase in transit level of transportation, and right turn on red. Evidence was provided that potential environmental impacts were carefully considered throughout development of the plan; no significant adverse impacts were identified.
