Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />Current and Past Initiatives <br />The City completed a Population Vulnerability Assessment and Climate Adaptation <br />Framework in February 2018. This report identifies habitats, infrastructure, and <br />neighborhoods that are more vulnerable to the climate change risks described <br />above and recommends adaptation strategies. <br />6. RENEWABLE ENERGY <br />Background <br />In addition to providing clean sources of energy that have much lower <br />environmental impacts than fossil fuels, local renewable energy systems can <br />provide local economic opportunities and can help increase energy security if <br />there are disruptions to the global energy supply. <br />While Minnesota does not have an indigenous fossil fuel supply, the state does <br />have many renewable energy resources available for development. The following <br />list includes excerpts from the "Existing Energy Conditions" report developed <br />through the Minnesota Local Government Project for Energy Planning. <br />Energy Efficiency Resource: <br />The most cost-effective clean energy resource is efficiency, which can be achieved <br />through strategies like weatherization, efficient equipment, and efficient building <br />operations. With Roseville residents and businesses spending $55.8 million each <br />year on electricity and natural gas, efficiency also represents an opportunity for <br />cost savings. <br />As shown in the Regional Indicators Initiative graphic summary (FIGURE 9-2), two- <br />thirds of energy consumed within the city's buildings is being used by commercial <br />and industrial customers, despite making up only 13 percent of the total number <br />of premises, making this sector a strong efficiency resource. These customers also <br />use a greater percentage of electricity than residential customers, which is <br />currently more carbon -intensive than natural gas. However, the residential sector <br />also provides an efficiency resource; since residential efficiency improvements are <br />typically more standardized than commercial strategies, they may be easier to <br />apply broadly. <br />Chapter9 I Page 10 <br />
