Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />Xcel Energy offers incentives to residential and business customers to help <br />increase energy efficiency. Participation rates for these programs can be found in <br />Xcel Energy's Community Energy Reports. For Roseville, 2016 participation rates <br />by businesses and residents are shown in the table below, with savings equivalent <br />to 1.4 percent of community -wide electricity and 0.6 percent of natural gas. <br />TABLE 9-1 ROSEVILLE PARTICIPATION IN CONSERVATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS IN 2016. <br />SOURCE: XCEL COMMUNITY ENERGY REPORT (ACCESSED JANUARY 22, 2018). <br />Utility companies can manage the electric load through demand response <br />programs. These programs incentivize consumers to allow the utility to ramp <br />down appliances (e.g. Saver's Switch® for central air conditioning) or other larger <br />electric equipmentto relieve congestion from the electric grid during times of high <br />use. In 2016, more than 298 Roseville businesses participated in such programs, <br />creating 5,630 kW of available capacity; 5,782 residential customers participated, <br />creating a load management resource of 3,147 kW. <br />Transportation efficiency is another significant resource, comprising over 40 <br />percent of the City's GHG emissions and a significant portion of energy <br />expenditures. Ramsey County is already active in working with its local <br />governments and the Metropolitan Council to encourage transit use and expand <br />the reach of multi -modal transportation infrastructure. <br />Solar Energy Resource: <br />The University of Minnesota developed a high -resolution statewide solar resource <br />map that allows cities to calculate potential electricity generation from local solar <br />energy systems. This data (see Roseville Solar Potential Map, MAP9-1) was used <br />to calculate Roseville's solar resource or "solar reserves," shown in the table <br />below. The solar reserves represent how much solar energy is reasonably <br />economically available for development — similar to how oil or gas reserves are <br />measured — not considering individual site limitations due to roof structure, <br />ownership, or local regulations that might limit solar installations. The gross <br />potential includes the total available resource, regardless of location; rooftop <br />capacity and generation include only the resource available on the rooftops of <br />buildings located in the City. <br />Chapter9 I Page 12 <br />
