Action: EN3 | Westminster Indicators for Sustainability and Environment

EN3Build Regional Renewable Energy Partnerships

Progress

On Track

Many communities and agencies across the Front Range have shared energy goals and face similar energy challenges and opportunities as Westminster.

This strategy focuses on building partnerships with neighboring communities and utility providers to increase access to renewable energy programs.

Seek regional partnership opportunities to implement renewable energy projects and programs, such as collaborating with Broomfield, Northglenn and other neighboring communities to launch a North Metro Solar United Neighborhoods program.
Explore potential sites for community solar gardens in coordination with solar garden providers and other partners.
Continue partnering with Xcel Energy on the Energy Futures Collaborative workplan to expand renewable energy and energy efficiency opportunities
