INTRODUCTION <br />In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Roseville identified the goal of expanding local renewable <br />energy systems to provide cleaner sources of energy, cost -savings to businesses and residents, <br />and increased energy security. Roseville has been making significant strides forward in creating <br />and implementing sustainable initiatives, plans, and policies. This Energy Action Plan, <br />developed with assistance from Xcel Energy's Partners in Energy program, will enable the City <br />to make significant progress toward the goals articulated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br />Our Engagement & Outreach Process <br />The creation of this Energy Action Plan was a nine -month process to help our community <br />characterize Roseville's energy use, identify energy -related goals, and develop engaging <br />strategies to guide change towards our energy future. Starting in September 2020, the Energy <br />Action Plan was driven by a series of planning workshops with a planning team committed to <br />representing local energy priorities in collaboration with the City of Roseville and Xcel Energy's <br />Partners in Energy. By the numbers, we engaged 14 community members through five online <br />surveys and five workshops. See Appendix D for more information about the planning process <br />and Partners in Energy. <br />Why We Want An Energy Action Plan <br />Members of Roseville's Energy Action Team were surveyed early in the planning process with <br />the following prompt: <br />`9n one sentence or less, please describe why you think it's important for Roseville to <br />create an Energy Action Plan." <br />The team's answers provide a valuable perspective on the urgency of this project for the City <br />and for the team members as well. <br />Roseville Energy Action Plan <br />
