Saint Anthony Village Energy Action Plan 29 HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE To achieve the community’s energy vision and goal, the Energy Action Team identified a set of strategies to support implementation. The following section outlines our implementation plan, including strategies, tactics, and resources to help achieve our goal. These initiatives will be led by the City of Saint Anthony Village and supported by Partners in Energy, Xcel Energy, the Energy Action Team, and other utilities. Each focus area has background information, four strategies, and specific tactics describing the actions. For a more detailed work plan with a timeline, see Appendix A: Work Plan. Core Strategies The Energy Action Team identified strategies that encompass all focus areas. These are the Core Strategies. Core Strategy 1: Create an energy resource hub on the City website for sharing resources and information on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and electrification. Core Strategy 2: Create a recognition program for residents and businesses to take action on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and electrification. Focus Area: Energy Efficiency Why is this a priority? The first step to energy action is making a home or building more energy efficient. Many people in the Saint Anthony Village community care about the environment, but don’t necessarily connect their personal energy use to environmental impacts. These strategies will raise awareness of the many programs and rebates offered by utilities to help residents and businesses conserve energy, as well as save money. The Commercial and Industrial sector accounts for 52% of total energy consumption in Saint Anthony Village. Because of the large amount of energy used by businesses, there will be substantial impact on energy savings from engaging businesses. Business owners can also benefit from energy efficiency measures, and it will be important to convey the return on investment for completing projects.
