The City of Louisville worked with the County's consulting firm to provide all requested information to complete this study. The County performed this inventory last in 2011 and may perform another inventory in 2021. The City of Louisville performed an independent community GHG Inventory in 2012, through the University of Minnesota. • No Recommended Action 2 CE-IT1S2: Set new goals for GHG reductions In the 2017 Louisville Energy Action Plan, the City established a goal to reduce total community -wide energy use by 1% annually, which could result in an 11% reduction over the 2015 baseline by 2027. This would directly affect GHG reductions. • No Recommended Action.
