<br />New Brighton Energy Action Plan 37 <br />Renewable Energy Support <br />There is support for renewable energy in New Brighton with more than 580 residential premises <br />subscribing to Xcel Energy renewable programs. These premises receive a total of 2.25 million kWh of <br />their electricity from renewable sources, the equivalent of taking 354 gas-powered cars off the road for <br />a year.8 The commercial/industrial sector has fewer subscribers to renewables programs (11), but these <br />customers receive 2.28 million kWh of electricity from renewables, a higher total than the residential <br />sector due to larger subscriptions per premise. Overall, there is potential to increase renewable energy <br />use in New Brighton, with about 2.5% of New Brighton’s electricity coming from renewable energy <br />programs. <br /> Residential Commercial & Industrial <br />Subscription Programs - Windsource® & <br />Renewable*Connect® <br /> <br />Subscriber Count 539 8 <br />Total Annual Electricity Subscribed (kWh) 1,939,634 769,673 <br />Percent of Sector Xcel Energy Electricity Use 2.8% 0.7% <br />Community Solar Gardens - Solar*Rewards® <br />Community <br /> <br />Subscriber Count 42 3 <br />Total Annual Electricity Subscribed (kWh) 306,327 1,509,261 <br />Percent of Sector Xcel Energy Electricity Use 0.4% 1.5% <br />On-site Solar - Solar*Rewards® and Net- <br />Metering9 <br />Participant Count 112 36 <br />Total Electricity Capacity (kW) 866 1,412 <br />Total Xcel Energy Renewable Energy Support10 <br />Subscriber Count 581 11 <br />Total Annual Electricity Subscribed (kWh) 2,246,300 2,279,300 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />8 https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator <br />9 On-site solar data from the Xcel Energy Community Energy Report, 2021. <br />https://www.xcelenergy.com/community_energy_reports <br />10 Excludes on-site solar due to behind the meter generation. <br />Table 18.
