Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />• teaming up with Xcel Energy up to give 200 Roseville residents a free $60 <br />energy audit each year, and <br />• connecting residents to the CEE Lending Centerfor zero- percentfinancing on <br />a 10-year forgivable loan for up to $6,500 for energy conservation <br />improvements. <br />In 2018 the City committed to two avenues for solar energy, Community Solar <br />Garden subscriptions and rooftop solar arrays on City owned buildings. In 2019 <br />the City will install solar arrays on the rooftops of City Hall, the Fire Station, and <br />the Maintenance Facility. There will be a total of approximately 200 kW of solar <br />energy production on the City Campus by the fall of 2019. <br />The City has also committed to up to 2 Megawatts of Community Solar Garden <br />subscriptions over the next two years. Community Solar Gardens are centrally - <br />located solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that provide electricity to participating <br />subscribers. Through these programs, an entity can install larger solar arrays on <br />rooftops or ground -mounted systems. The City expects the first shares to be <br />implemented in the summer of 2019. These two initiatives have the potential to <br />provide up to half of the overall energy consumption from the Civic Campus with <br />renewable energy. Future projects will be considered for the Roseville Skating <br />Center including the indoor ice arena and the Oval. <br />Another program that the City is working to participate in is SolSmart through the <br />Metropolitan Council. SolSmart is a local government designation program <br />designed to recognize communities that have taken steps to improve solar market <br />conditions. Communities pursuing SolSmart designation, regardless of their level <br />of solar energy experience, can receive no -cost technical assistance (similar to <br />consulting services) from a team of national solar experts. <br />SolSmart designation at the Bronze, Silver, or Gold level will provide high -profile, <br />national recognition for communities that have made it faster, easier, and more <br />affordable for residents and businesses to invest in solar energy. Achieving <br />designation will signal that a community is "open for solar business," attracting <br />new solar businesses and gaining the economic development benefits attached to <br />solar market development. <br />7. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND OUTREACH <br />Background <br />One of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to protect the environment is <br />through education. By working with residents, businesses, and schools to identify <br />Chapter 1 Page 17 <br />
