A Municipal Energy Plan (MEP) is a comprehensive long-term plan designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy use and mitigate climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions. Municipal Energy Plans work to foster a community culture of energy conservation while helping to plan ahead for future development, land use planning, growth planning, and energy generation and transmission infrastructure. MEPs help to outline options for local clean and renewable energy generation, and work to support economic development by more effectively addressing local energy needs now and for the future.
The Process: Creating the Municipal Energy Plan
The Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) engages over a dozen different stakeholders from a variety of sectors representing energy users and distributors, land use planning and development, buildings and built form, as well as transportation. The SAG served as a non-political advisory committee providing ongoing input and advice that contributed to the development of the MEP. The SAG met six times over the course of the 2014-2015 year to discuss goals, analysis, actions, targets, integration and implementation of the MEP.
