Seven Community Collaboration Municipal Energy Plan
The Municipal Energy Plan, developed for the Seven Community Collaboration in Dane County, Wisconsin, provides clear guidance on near-term actions to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions within municipal operations. Key focus areas include developing baseline energy use profiles, identifying energy-saving opportunities through building efficiency, streetlighting upgrades, and fleet improvements, and exploring solar investments. It also recommends establishing policies for data collection, new construction design, operational efficiency, purchasing, and community-wide resource leveraging to achieve sustainable and resilient municipal operations.
