Strategies
EN1. Support the transition to low-emission energy supply
Renewable energy is a community-wide effort. The City can support it by removing barriers to renewable energy infrastructure installation in its codes and bylaws, and by supporting public utility efforts.
EN2. Advocate for increased resilience of the local energy supply
The City will coordinate with energy utilities in the increased provision of renewable energy and improved energy infrastructure resilience. This coordination must advocate for adequate local energy supply for heating and cooling during extreme and extended heat and freezing events.
