TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Policy White Paper – Policy and Regulation Overview <br /> 56 <br />streetlights that are owned by the local utility, the City may seek purchase of this infrastructure or <br />engage the utility about streetlight rebate opportunities that might be available. <br />Beyond adopting an ordinance, the City could seek opportunities to partner with companies that are <br />developing innovative lighting technologies such as organic LEDs, which could be applied on the streets <br />in high-visibility areas such as the Gateway overlay zone. <br />8.5.3.2. Commercial Energy Challenge <br />The City could work with a third-party building or an energy organization to initiate a commercial <br />energy challenge program tied to awards and financial incentives. The program could be modeled after <br />the Building Owners and Managers Association’s current Kilowatt Crackdown program, a modified <br />version of that program, or after another of many successful challenge programs that cities are trying <br />across the United States. The City could work with local businesses to instigate a business association <br />or committee that could advise in the creation of the initiative and build program participation. <br />Program incentives could be funded by government or foundation dollars. The City and partners could <br />establish an energy savings revolving fund to create a sustainable source of funding. <br />8.5.3.3. Neighborhood Energy Disclosure <br />The City and partners could approach Xcel Energy about implementing a neighborhood-based program <br />to engage the community through aggregated neighborhood energy information, customer choices, <br />and existing utility programs. The City could work with Xcel Energy and a third-party organization to <br />create a platform for visualizing and sharing community energy data and facilitating competition <br />amongst neighborhoods. In addition to utility incentives, the City could seek funding opportunities for <br />incentives to homeowners that complete home improvements.37 <br />8.5.3.4. Facilitating Home Owner Association Energy Goals and Incentives <br />To help guide newly forming homeowner associations on the TCAAP site, the City could adopt energy <br />vision language that homeowner associations would help maintain. Commonly, homeowner <br />association’s standards and decisions are only subject to the rules of zoning code. However, providing <br />visionary recommendations and incentives, such as for rooftop solar, would encourage developers and <br />residents to invest in and uphold common aesthetic and resiliency values. A stand-alone TCAAP <br />homeowner association guideline or clause would provide the necessary guidance. <br />8.5.3.5. Solar Energy Enabling Policies <br /> <br />37 St. Louis Park incentive program
