Saint Anthony Village Energy Action Plan 18 <br />Renewable Energy <br />Saint Anthony Village residents and businesses use subscription programs and on-site options to support <br />renewable energy (Table 2 and Table 3). In Saint Anthony, most renewable energy support is in the <br />residential sector, where 351 residents receive renewable energy through subscription programs for a <br />combined total of over 1.5 million kWh, equivalent to taking 240 gas-powered cars off the road for a <br />year, 57 residents have on-site solar installations. Fewer commercial and industrial customers <br />participate in renewable energy offerings than residential customers, with 13 renewable energy <br />program subscribers totaling nearly 733,000 kWh and 9 on-site installations. Overall, there is potential <br />to increase renewable energy use in Saint Anthony Village, with the energy generated through <br />renewable energy subscriptions making up only about 3.7% of the community’s electricity consumption. <br />This total excludes generation from on-site solar because those installations are on the customer’s side <br />of the utility meter. <br />Table 2.
