The 2019 work plan included setting alternative energy and carbon <br />reduction goals. They have met to discuss baseline energy information, available <br />programs, and goal -setting for municipal and community -wide energy usage and <br />renewable energy. Based on data provided by Xcel and input from staff and Council, <br />municipal and community goals were developed for City Council to consider. This <br />replaces the current broad goal in the sustainability action plan with specific goals. <br />She stated Xcel's current renewable energy resource mix is 29% carbon -free.
