FRIDLEY ENERGY ACTION PLAN <br /> <br />2 <br />Fridley updated their zoning ordinance to make it easier to permit photovoltaic solar <br />installations. The City is also completing a fleet analysis with Xcel Energy and <br />FleetCarma,3 and is participating in the Cities Charging Ahead!4 initiative to understand <br />ways to integrate electric vehicles (EVs) into the City fleet and become EV ready at the <br />new civic campus. <br />The most exciting effort to reduce energy use in City facilities is tied to construction of <br />the new civic campus. This campus will consolidate City Hall, Public Safety, and Fire <br />Station 1 into the same facility, and relocate Public Works and vehicle storage . The City <br />participated in Xcel Energy’s Energy Design Assistance program to include energy <br />savings in the planning and design phase of the new civic campus project. Fridley’s new <br />Public Safety and City Hall building are anticipated to save 32 percent compared to <br />baseline, and the new Public Works facility is anticipated to save 43 percent compared <br />to baseline.5 The City is committed to exploring additional opportunities in these <br />buildings and other City-owned facilities to increase efficiency and reduce costs. <br />Figure 1: City of Fridley New Civic Campus Site Plan6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 Fleet analysis assesses electric vehicle suitability in City-owned fleet and charging infrastructure needed <br />based on the deployment of electric vehicles. <br />4 Cities Charging Ahead! is sponsored by CERTs and Great Plains Institute. Participating cities receive <br />technical assistance focused on actions and best practices local governments can implement to <br />accelerate adoption of electric vehicles. <br />5 Energy Design Assistance CD Review Report, 2017. <br />6 City of Fridley, Town Hall Meeting, 2016.
