114128CDP Cities 20162430City of BurlingtonStrategyGHG Emissions Reduction - CommunityNotRepeatable7Cities-7.0-StrategyBurlington tracks its emissions data in an Excel-based GHG Inventory Modeling Workbook developed and populated with the help of an environmental consultant. Progress in reducing emissions is tracked by way of the Burlington, VT Climate Action Plan, which identifies both emissions data and emissions-reduction goals, as well as strategies to achieve these reduction goals. The Climate Action Plan has an update timeline of three years. Progress on the Climate Action Plan is tracked by way of a progress report on the city's website https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/public/capprogress/00

114134CDP Cities 20162430City of BurlingtonStrategyGHG Emissions Reduction - CommunityNotRepeatable7.2aCities-7.2a-StrategyReduction GoalsSubsequent to the completion of the 2007 GHG emissions inventory, the City established the following emissions reduction targets: Short-term: Reduction of 20% below 2007 levels by 2020 *Equals 1.5% annual reduction until 2020 Long-term: Reduction of 80% below 2007 levels by 2050 *Equals 2% annual reduction between 2020 and 2050 To achieve its 2020 goal, the City would have to reduce the emissions generated by its municipal operations by 4,657 tons of CO2 equivalent, while the community-wide emissions reduction would have to approach 86,485 tons of CO2 equivalent. These are not insignificant numbers, but if the City and community come together in working towards those same goals, we can surely achieve them. Exploration of new technologies, new financial incentives and/or financing schemes, as well as a general willingness and commitment to the implementation of this plan will bring success.1Cities-7.2a-C7-Comment7

114138CDP Cities 20162430City of BurlingtonStrategyRenewable EnergyNotRepeatable8.1bCities-8.1b-RenewableEnergyTarget100% renewable goal met in 2014! As part of a statewide goal of getting 90 percent of Vermont’s energy from renewable sources, Burlington - Vermont’s largest city – now obtains 100 percent of its electricity from wind, water, and biomass. This threshold was passed in September 2014 with the purchase of the 7.4-megawatt Winooski 1 hydroelectric project on the Winooski River at the city’s edge. http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/09/14/vermont-milestone-green-energy-efforts/fsLHJl4eoqv6QoFNewRYBK/story.htmlIn 1978 Burlington voters approved a bond that began their journey toward a renewable electric supply through construction of the J.C. McNeil Generating Station. With the approval of Question #4 on the 2014 Town Meeting Day ballot authorizing BED to sell bonds to purchase the Winooski One Hydro plant, Burlington voters completed that journey. When the acquisition of Winooski One is finalized this summer, BED will achieve the goal of sourcing 100% of its power supply from renewable resources, while many other utilities around the country are still talking about trying to get to 20 percent renewable by 2020. Even as BED has been achieving the goal of 100 percent renewable supply, it has simultaneously been successfully promoting its energy efficiency programs. Our city is perhaps the only one in the nation that can lay claim to using less electricity than it did in 1989, while experiencing robust economic growth.1Cities-RenewableEnergyTarget-C5-Plan5
