<br />New Brighton Energy Action Plan 38 <br />APPENDIX B: METHODOLOGY FOR MEASURING <br />SUCCESS <br />As part of implementation support, Partners in Energy will provide biannual progress reports for Xcel <br />Energy participation and savings data for New Brighton. All goals will be measured against New <br />Brighton’s 2021 baseline unless otherwise noted. <br />The following section defines the values against which progress is measured for the goals identified in <br />the Energy Action Plan, and excludes goals set in New Brighton’s Climate Action Plan. Data from the <br />Energy Action Plan and progress reports provided by Partners in Energy may inform the community’s <br />progress toward Climate Action Plan goals. <br />Energy Efficiency Goal <br />• Increase energy savings by 40% on community-wide electricity and natural gas efficiency by 2030. <br />This goal measures cumulative energy savings for electricity and natural gas savings for all sectors <br />between 2023 and 2030 against the 2021 baseline value for the same time period. First-year energy <br />savings data provided by Xcel Energy for current and future energy efficiency programs will be used to <br />calculate electricity and natural gas savings. <br /> Cumulative 2030 <br />Baseline Scenario <br />Cumulative 2030 Goal <br />Scenario <br />Electricity Savings (kWh) – Residential Sector 1,924,944 2,710,164 <br />Electricity Savings (kWh) – <br />Commercial/Industrial Sector 13,906,560 22,458,528 <br />Natural Gas Savings (therms) – Residential <br />Sector 450,080 631,309 <br />Natural Gas Savings (therms) – <br />Commercial/Industrial Sector 532,504 627,886 <br />Total Energy Savings (MMBtu) 152,275 211,795 <br />Table 16.
