FRIDLEY ENERGY ACTION PLAN <br /> <br />14 <br />Focus areas 1-3 are sectors in the community that the Energy Action Team believes <br />can realize short-term measurable results through the strategies outlined in this plan. <br />Focus area 4 is a long-term priority – the Energy Action Team acknowledged <br />transportation and electric vehicles are important for long-term greenhouse gas <br />emission reductions, public health, and cost-savings for electric vehicle owners over the <br />lifetime of the vehicle. A small sub-group met outside of the regular workshop schedule <br />to identify strategies for this focus area. <br />Through the planning process, renewable energy was also noted as an important <br />component for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy resilience. <br />Rather than defining renewable energy as a separate focus area, the group determined <br />that renewable energy was an important component of all focus areas and should be <br />integrated throughout the plan for a more comprehensive approach. <br />Figure 10: Energy Consumption by Focus Area, 201717 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />17 Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy, estimates based on modeling and projections by Partners in <br />Energy. Total energy consumption based on actual 2017 electricity consumption for classified premises <br />and a natural gas consumption estimate. The natural gas consumption estimate was completed using <br />actual 2017 therm consumption for all commercial and industrial premises and applying a ratio to <br />institution consumption based on actual kWh consumption for classified premises. <br />26% <br />70% <br />4% <br />Residential Business & Multifamily Institutions
