Saint Anthony Village Energy Action Plan 24 The Climate Plan used data from the Regional Indicators Initiative9 to track greenhouse gas emissions from the baseline of 2005. In 2005, Saint Anthony Village energy-related greenhouse gas emissions were around 61,000 metric tons, with 63% coming from electricity consumption. By 2023, total energy emissions were lower with a total of 41,000 metric tons of emissions, 38% of which originated from electricity. This decrease in energy emissions was largely due to Xcel Energy’s grid decarbonization over time, making electricity less carbon intensive. Over time, emissions from natural gas will become a larger proportion of all energy-related emissions. By 2040, Saint Anthony Village’s energy-related emissions would be around 12,000 metric tons if we reach the goal set forward in the Climate Plan. For the purposes of the Energy Action Plan, Partners in Energy modeled where Saint Anthony Village should be by 2030 to be on track to reach the 2040 goal. The year 2030 was used as a benchmark to track progress, then we will reassess new programs, measures, and rebates that become available to support the next 10 years to 2040. The Energy Action Plan uses a data baseline of 2021–2023. If Saint Anthony Village were to continue to hold energy consumption constant at the baseline levels of 2021–2023, the City would see a reduction in energy emissions depicted by the orange line in Figure 13. These projected reductions are mostly due to electrical grid decarbonization. The gray line is a linear model of the goal and shows the gap that needs to be addressed by 2030 and 2040. The dotted line is noting where the emissions will be in 2030. There is a small gap that needs to be addressed to reach the 2030 target, and the actions outlined in the Energy Action Plan will set Saint Anthony Village up for success to reach the target of 29,188 MTCO2e. 9 https://www.regionalindicatorsmn.com/city-summary
