Since the original adoption of the Louisville <br />Sustainability Action Plan in 2016, significant steps have been taken in regard to electricity and <br />energy use and as recommended in the original document, the City adopted climate action <br />goals in August of 2019. <br />Electricity and natural gas are the top two sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Louisville <br />and derives mainly from residential and commercial buildings. Action in this area will improve <br />air quality, reduce home and business energy cost, improve utilization of the electricity system <br />and provide opportunities for regional and state leadership. <br />NEW <br />Energy <br />Why It Matters <br />Electricity and natural gas usage in homes and businesses are <br />the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in <br />Louisville. <br />Reducing GHG emissions helps us meet our sustainability and <br />climate goals and build a healthier, more resilient community. <br />What We're Doing <br />Since adopting our first Sustainability Action Plan in 2016 and <br />setting science -based climate targets in 2024, Louisville has <br />made measurable progress in: <br />• Boosting energy efficiency <br />• Expanding renewable energy <br />• Electrifying heating and water <br />
