solar energy

The city's Climate Action Plan includes a section on energy that includes as an objective producing five percent of all energy used in the city from renewable onsite or local sources, with solar energy production being the main focus (Energy 2015 Objective 2).

Action items include establishing a local financing district for solar energy production, developing a local solar farm, and developing a renewable energy production plan (p. 19). Another action item around energy-efficient neighborhood design calls for reevaluating neighborhood design standards to maximize GHG reductions, including street and building orientation to accommodate passive and active solar energy systems (p. 23).
