Edmonton partnered with Alberta Ecotrust to deliver this grant program, with this external not-for-profit coordinating grant applications and fund release. https://www.edmonton.ca/programs_services/funding_grants/ecocity-edmonton-community-sustainability-grants.aspx The partnership enables City staff to focus on other priorities and moves the grant program to be managed by an organization with over 20 years experience doing this work in Alberta. To apply for a community grant, citizens attend a 2- hour learning session on the City’s environmental goals, as outlined in The Way We Green, with a focus on climate and energy. Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy is highlighted in the sessions.Solar panels, LED lighting and energy literacy events were a few of the five funded projects, totaling CDN$130,000 in 2015. In 2016, CDN $127,500 was awarded to 4 projects. In 2017CDN $170,000 was awarded to 7 projects related to energy conservation and climate change education , and solar PV installations:Outcomes from 2015 and 2016:In the first two years the grant program has awarded $277,500 spanning across 8 different projects over two years. Three projects have been completed successfully that represent approximately 32% of committed funding. The three completed projects saw over four thousand people directly engaged or impacted and just over 400 volunteer hours dedicated to the projects, with an additional $200,000 in funding leveraged as a result of the grants.The grant program has also been highly rated by grantees receiving an average score of 4.67 out of 5 on the grant application process and an average of 4.33 out of 5 for both the reporting process and quality of support from staff.Overall the grant program has facilitated the installation of 35.5 kW of solar PV coupled with an additional 44.5 MW reduction in electricity consumption with an additional 42 kW of solar PV systems planned.The remaining 5 projects also anticipate that at least another 15 thousand people in Edmonton will be directly engaged or impacted by the projects. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Naturalization Program: Conversion of mowed turf to naturalized grass, shrubs and trees through the naturalization program. Benefits include carbon sequestration through increased plant material and reduced carbon footprint due to reduced mechanical maintenance. Trees, shrubs and wildflowers are then planted in converted naturalized areas that are suitable for planting.On average in 2014-2015: 35 hectares per year were naturalized (converted from mowed turf to naturalized grass).In 2016 roughly120 hectares were converted saving the City roughlyCDN $200,000 in the turf mowing budget. This savings was realized including costs related to labour, machine/equipment costs, fuel, and supervision.The year-end report for the Root for Trees program outlines objectives and outcomes of this program, including numbers of trees and shrubs planted. (Root for Trees facilitates naturalization planting through volunteer planting events).https://drive.google.com/a/edmonton.ca/file/d/0BypfD1tETcgjMU84Y28zTDdKYUk/view?usp=sharingCalculations in the naturalization program were also done to determine the difference between the savings related to passive naturalization (conversion without planting) and active naturalization (conversion with planting afterwards).https://docs.google.com/a/edmonton.ca/document/d/1RqGSpOL6ctvZUKYKbWK6t6LwpNwF6rjTX_bGElAag-g/edit?usp=sharingThe efforts toward naturalization in the City of Edmonton are supported by numerous policies, and plans in effect for the City of Edmonton::The Way We Grow https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/PDF/MDP_Bylaw_15100.pdf • Strategic Objective 7.1.2: The City restores ecologically degraded and/or damaged ecological systems and linkages to protect, expand and enhance biodiversity• Policy 7.4.1.2: Enhances the habitat value of parks by incorporating native plant species into park design; implementing invasive plant removal and restoration programs as neededCity of Edmonton - Urban Forest Management Plan: https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/PDF/Urban_Forest_Management_Plan.pdf • Strategic Action 1.1: Develop and implement programs that will lead to the establishment of a 20% tree canopy coverage through partnerships, residential action, naturalization and additional landscape tree plantings.

The city has an ongoing program with a target to double the tree canopy of the boulevard trees over which it has control. This will generate a perpetual carbon sink for the City which has been estimated to be in the order of 3000 TCO2e per year. In 2015 the City had 329,501 boulevard trees in place. Each year many trees have to be replaced due to injury (hit by car), or disease but on average the inventory of boulevard trees has been growing by about 7,000 each year.In addition to doubling our own boulevard tree canopy in the City, we have a program in place with the target of doubling the entire tree canopy to 20% of the whole city. It is estimated there are about 13 million trees in the city on private and public lands. There are numerous programs in place supporting this expansion including community programs, the largest program of which is the Root For Trees program (https://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/initiatives_innovation/root-for-trees.aspx) A carbon sink value for this initiative has not yet been calculated. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Energy Transition Marketing and Communication Campaign: The objective of this project is to establish and implement an overarching marketing and communication strategy that will engage a majority of Edmontonians, creating: (1) widespread awareness amongst Edmontonians that Edmonton’s Energy Transition Campaign is underway, (2) a sense of strong community leadership and purpose, (3) excitement and optimism that individual and collective actions will be successful, (4) a sense that wise energy use is a valued social norm and (5) a sense of positive urgency. In Q4, 2016, a project to establish the marketing and communication campaign was commenced with the hiring of a Marketing Strategist (staff) and the contracting of a marketing advertising agency. Next Steps: The four-phase project, leading to the rollout of the marketing and communication campaign in summer 2017 will include: (1) Phase 1: Market research will be conducted to drill deeper on how to engage Edmontonians in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, (2) Phase 2: A comprehensive marketing and communication strategy will be formulated including full articulation of the strategy, target market identification, key messages, campaign branding, detailed year-one action plan and targets, (3) Phase 3: Creative tools and materials will be developed to support the strategy, and (4) Phase 4: Implementation of Year-One of the campaign (July 2017 to June 2018). As well, work is underway to develop a series of good news videos/stories that will inform Edmontonians about the energy transition successes happening in Edmonton today. Distribution will begin in late March 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE): The purpose of this project is to develop a business case for property assessed clean energy programs (PACE) in Alberta, using it to advocate for Provincial action. During 2016, the City (in collaboration with community partners), took steps to raise awareness about this innovative tool. In October, the City hosted a workshop titled Keeping PACE with the Conversation that was attended by nearly one hundred leaders from government, energy, utility, financial, banking, building construction and real estate sectors from across the province. The workshop provided a general introduction to PACE and examined recent experiences in other jurisdictions where PACE programs had been established. In 2016, the City also requested PACE-related powers as part of a larger set of powers it was pursuing through City Charter negotiations with the Province.Next Steps: In Q1, 2017 the City will update Provincial authorities on the benefits of PACE in a report that includes: (1) recent experiences in the U.S., (2) legal opinions on legislative barriers that exist and amendments that are needed for PACE to proceed in Alberta, (3) models under which PACE could be delivered in Alberta, and (4) examples of PACE legislation from other parts of Canada. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

EnerGuide Assessment and Labelling Program for Residential Buildings: The purpose of this project is to inspire Edmontonians to improve energy efficiency in new and existing homes through the introduction of energy labels that provide information about home energy performance. The desired outcome is to make the EnerGuide label for homes a market norm in Edmonton that attributes value to energy efficiency. This new information is expected to drive energy efficiency improvements in existing homes (through energy efficiency renovations) and in new homes (by increasing consumer demand for energy efficiency). Initially the programs will be voluntary - focused on market champions. This will expand to a City-wide, “opt-in” disclosure program and eventually lead to a City requirement/bylaw. This project aligns with the federal government’s recently released Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate that states: Federal, provincial, and territorial governments will work together with the aim of requiring labelling of building energy use by as early as 2019. Labelling will provide consumers and businesses with transparent information on energy performance. Given the federal government’s signal that regulation are coming, the focus of Edmonton’s program will be to develop a robust voluntary program that supports capacity-building and community participation prior to the regulation coming into effect. Key efforts to year-end 2016 included: (1) development of a value case for the program, (2) a contest that awarded EnerGuide audits to 25 Edmonton homeowners in order for the City to learn more about the new EnerGuide rating system and the energy performance of Edmonton’s residential building stock, (3) development of a web-based mapping tool showing the location of contest-winner homes and those of participating builders along with their EnerGuide scores and (4) a video explaining and promoting the EnerGuide program Edmonton’s EnerGuide for Homes: Spot the Difference Next Steps: In Q1, 2017 an approach known as human centered design will be applied in collaboration with the Government of Alberta and Natural Resources Canada to further understand homeowner behaviour and inform the pilot project design. As well, design workshops will be conducted with stakeholders in Q1, 2017 including the examination of opportunities to align this project with complementary provincial programs. It is expected that a well-designed, stakeholder-supported pilot project will be ready for launch in Q2, 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||
| 637 | 43912 | City of Edmonton | Edmonton | Canada | North America | 2017 | Public | Buildings | Building performance rating and reporting | xx30. Large Building Energy Reporting and Disclosure Program: The purpose of this project is to collect accurate, annual information on whole building energy performance across Edmonton’s large building stock, including commercial, light industrial, municipal, institutional, mixed-use, and multi-unit residential buildings (i.e., for the purpose of this project, large buildings are defined as those greater than 20,000 square feet). The information will be used to benchmark building energy performance across Edmonton’s large buildings and direct energy efficiency improvements in those buildings through the creation of an information-action feedback loop with program participants. The pilot project will be rolled out in stages. In year-one (2017), building owners in Edmonton will be invited to participate in a voluntary pilot where they can choose to report their energy usage for the 2016 calendar year. Many municipally-owned buildings will participate – demonstrating the City’s commitment to lead-by-example. The long-term objective is to increase the number of buildings participating in the program until nearly all large buildings within Edmonton city limits are participating annually. As with the EnerGuide labelling program for homes (above), this project is influenced by the Federal Government’s recent announcement (in the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change) – that energy reporting and disclosure for buildings will be regulated nationwide as early as 2019. As a result, this project will focus on preparing Edmonton’s large building sector for the new regulations that are coming and use Edmonton’s experience to influence the national/provincial program that will emerge.Key efforts to year-end 2016 included: (1) significant completion of a value case for the program (compiling theoretical and practical evidence for the program, including an Edmonton building stock analysis and modelling to understand the benefits that can be reasonably expected from the program), (2) building external stakeholder understanding and support for the program (with BOMA Edmonton seen as a key stakeholders) and (3) ensuring strong participation of City-owned buildings/facilities. Next Steps: Design workshops will be conducted with internal and external stakeholders in Q1, 2017 including the examination of opportunities to align this project with complementary provincial programs. It is expected that a well-designed, stakeholder-supported pilot project will be ready for launch in Q2, 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Community Energy Consumption Information Platform: The purpose of this project is to establish an information and analytical tool that will: (a) help citizens understand their personal energy use and actions they can take to conserve and use energy more efficiently, and (b) help City policy makers and program managers understand where and how energy is being used in Edmonton (in order to target energy conservation and efficiency opportunities). The web-based platform that is envisioned will be a place where a large majority of Edmontonians will go to better understand the energy performance of buildings where they work, live and play. This user-friendly environment will allow building owners and occupants to quickly increase their understanding of the electricity, natural gas, water and transportation-related energy consumption by building, street, postal code, neigbourhood and/or city sub-region. Based on building age, size, number of occupants, location and other factors, the system will provide feedback to owners on how the building compares to: (a) buildings of a similar size/age in Edmonton, (b) buildings constructed to the current Model National Energy Code, and (c) other benchmarks that will be helpful to them in understanding building performance. Based on this analysis, the system will be further designed to provide site-specific advice on possible areas of improvement and next steps that building owners can take. The site will be designed to entice regular return visits by providing regular updates of information (at least quarterly), offering incentives and promotions on various devices that improve energy efficiency in buildings, and by providing information and learning opportunities.In 2016, the City of Edmonton hosted a number of stakeholder meetings (involving representatives from EPCOR, ATCO Gas, Enmax, Province of Alberta, Municipal Climate Change Action Centre, City of Calgary and City of Edmonton) to explore the potential for such a platform. Generally, stakeholders expressed strong support for the concept and interest in working together to explore possible solutions. As a first step, the City conducted a request for information (RFI) in April 2016 (followed by a supplemental RFI in August 2016) to obtain advice from proponents on the range of possible solutions and products. Seven proponents responded, acknowledging the need and value of such a platform and offering a range of advice. Based on this information, it was concluded that justification existed to proceed with a request for proposals (RFP) for a web-based platform that would be externally owned and operated. However, the RFP did not proceed in 2016 as one of the participating utility companies requested time to evaluate the possibility of it providing the platform. In the end, they decided the timing was not right to lead such an effort. Next Steps: The City of Edmonton has resumed its leadership role, in close collaboration with the aforementioned stakeholder, to further evaluate options, including the possibility of a RFP or a pilot project in 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Streamlining the Solar PV Permitting Process: The purpose of this project is to establish a permitting process for building-mounted solar PV systems that will streamline the existing approval process and provide clarity on building safety requirements, allowable impacts to adjacent properties, and allowable exemptions.The scope of this project allowed for the possibility of residential solar PV projects being exempt from development permit requirements (as is the case in a number of Canadian and U.S. cities). While residential solar PV projects in Edmonton are not required to obtain building permits currently, they are required to submit design and installation drawings (stamped by a professional engineer) for City review. This process has raised concern amongst clients relative to project delays, increased costs, uncertainty about approval criteria, and the overall value of the review. Next Steps: A legal review to determine the appropriate level of City involvement in the review of residential solar PV projects (from a structural safety perspective) will be completed in Q1, 2017. The draft land-use amendment (re: building-mounted solar PV systems) will be presented to City Council in Q2, 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Electric Vehicle Strategy: The purpose of this project is to establish an evidence-based, action-oriented plan that will create a market-shift toward the purchase of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in Edmonton. The goals of the project are to: (1) determine strategic actions and establish an implementation plan that will accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles in Edmonton and (2) identify actions that will position the City of Edmonton to lead-by-example in supporting the accelerated adoption of electric vehicles. At year-end 2016, the Project Charter for this project was drafted and the RFP for consulting services was underway.Next Steps: Key activities in Q1 and Q2, 2017 include conducting a scan of best practices, seeking input from various stakeholders through various forums, conducting Edmonton-focused market research to identify barriers and opportunities to electric vehicle adoption, and completing a strategy document and detailed implementation plan. The resulting strategy will be presented to Urban Planning Committee July 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||
| 642 | 43912 | City of Edmonton | Edmonton | Canada | North America | 2017 | Public | Community-Scale Development | Transit oriented development | xx34. Valley Line LRT and LRT Expansion Projects: The purpose of these projects is to build an LRT system that is an efficient and environmentally friendly way to move Edmontonians. As the LRT and supporting bus network expands, high quality, high-capacity transit travel will be available to an increasing number of destinations, thereby increasing the attractiveness of the system to users.In June 2009, City Council adopted a long-term LRT Network Plan that defines the future size, scale and style of the regional LRT system. Eventually, the LRT network will have six lines extending to the northwest, northeast, east, southeast, south and west.The Valley Line LRT (Stage 1: Mill Woods to Downtown) is an urban-style, low-floor LRT currently that began construction in 2016 and is scheduled for completion in December 2020. The 13.1km line is being built at a capital cost of approximately $1.8 billion (2016 CAD) which will feature: o 11 fully accessible, community-integrated stops, designed with a minimal infrastructure footprinto Davies station, which includes a full Park & Ride and transit centre o The new Tawatinâ bridge spanning the North Saskatchewan River o A short tunnel from the Quarters redevelopment to Louise McKinney Parko An interchange at Churchill Square linking to the Capital and Metro LRT linesEven as the Valley Line project progresses, preparations are underway for the construction of several other LRT expansions, including:o The Metro Line, extending northwest from Blatchford to city limits near St. Alberto The Capital Line, extending south from Century Park to Heritage Valley, and northeast from Clareview to Gormano The Valley Line, extending west from Downtown to Lewis Farmso A future ‘central area circulator’ is also in the early stages of planning.LRT development promotes many City initiatives from The Ways encouraging efficient energy use, including:o Promoting mode shift: Moving more people more efficiently in fewer vehicles, and encouraging more active forms of transportation.o Promoting a compact urban form: Creating denser development around LRT stations and transit centres, reducing the length of vehicle trips and infrastructure expenditure.o Promoting green transit: Building out a transit system that is environmentally sustainable and reduces greenhouse gasses and energy consumption. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Blatchford Redevelopment: The purpose of this project is to transform 535 acres in the heart of Edmonton into one of the world’s largest sustainable communities. The neighbourhood will create an opportunity for 30,000 residents to live a unique and sustainable lifestyle. Driven by City Council’s vision to create a community that significantly reduces its ecological footprint and empowers residents to pursue sustainable lifestyle choices, Blatchford is a leading-by-example opportunity to showcase Edmonton’s commitment to becoming an energy sustainable city. The community will incorporate best practices for sustainable urban design including increasing density; prioritizing design that promotes walking, cycling or transit; creating a mix of housing, retail, commercial and public spaces; and incorporating significant park and green spaces. On December 8, 2016, City Council approved the community energy strategy, including the framework for a renewable energy utility that will further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enable the effective use of energy. The plan relies on the following three strategies:o Conservation: All buildings in Blatchford will incorporate green building features to reduce the amount of energy required.o Efficiency: An ambient district energy sharing system (DESS) will provide heating, cooling and domestic hot water for the buildings in Blatchford. It will be capable of sharing energy between buildings, neighbourhoods and seasons, significantly reducing overall energy demand. o Renewables: The use of on-site renewable energy sources including geo-exchange, solar PV and sewer heat exchange.Next Steps: After years of necessary planning, design, engineering and site preparation work, construction for the first residential stage and a section of the central park starts in spring 2017. The first stage will see approximately 250 units (townhomes and condos) built. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) Electric Buses: Over the past three years, ETS and Fleet and Facility Services have worked towards introducing battery-powered electric buses (e-bus) into its regular service fleet. This is part of the City’s commitment to exploring emerging technologies to create a more effective, efficient and ecologically responsible public transit service for Edmontonians. The first pilot project was conducted between May and October of 2014, testing two electric buses on Edmonton streets. In winter 2015/16, field trials showed that e-buses will operate effectively on Edmonton roads and throughout winter months. In June 2016, Administration provided a report to City Council outlining the results of winter testing and a business case for an initial deployment of 40 e-buses. The analysis indicates that e-buses is a cost neutral alternative to diesel buses. Based on present electricity generation in Alberta, it is estimated that an e-bus emits approximately 38 to 44 per cent less CO2 emissions than its diesel counterpart.Next Steps: City Council has directed Administration to purchase up to 40 e-buses, with funding available through the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). A request for proposals will be issued in the second quarter of 2017, with delivery of buses expected in late 2018/early 2019. Administration is undertaking other activities to plan for e-bus deployment in Edmonton, including:o Change management activities, ensuring staff is trained to operate and maintain the new technology, and facilities and processes are in place to support e-bus operations,o Facility assessments to determine the feasibility and costs of upgrading transit garages to equip e-buses, and o Developing a longer term acquisition and deployment strategy for the next capital budget cycle in 2019. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Residential Infill: The purpose of this program is to encourage residential infill in Edmonton. The City defines residential infill as the development of new housing in established neighbourhoods. This new housing may include secondary suites, garage suites, duplexes, semi-detached and detached houses, row houses, apartments, and other residential and mixed-use buildings.In 2016, residential infill was encouraged through a number of Zoning Bylaw changes that came into effect:o Requiring a minimum planting of trees and shrubs and promoting the preservation of mature trees in established communitieso Reducing parking requirements for certain high-volume commercial areas (such as Whyte Avenue) to promote alternative forms of transportationo Allowing more compact built forms while also requiring a mix of housing typesMoreover, in 2016 the Rain Garden in a Box initiative was introduced, promoting natural on-site collection of stormwater which is then slowly released into the stormwater sewer system. As well, an information report was presented to Council discussing possible incentives to promote more and better landscaping on commercial and industrial sites.Next Steps: o Proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments to the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay which include changes that would accommodate the recently-updated insulation requirements in the Alberta Building Codeo Proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments to allow for solar panel collectors to be located on low density residential buildingso Proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments to limit impermeable surfaces on low density residential siteso Proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments to promote the buildability of garage and garden suiteso Proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments to reduce parking requirements for low density residential uses from 2 spaces to 1 spaceo The Evolving Infill project will explore additional infill opportunities, including medium and high density opportunities that would facilitate a more efficient use of infrastructure and services, including transit. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Update of City Policy C532 – Sustainable Buildings: The purpose of this project is to update the City’s Sustainable Building Policy C-532 to ensure the City leads-by-example in establishing, implementing and maintaining sustainable building practices for the buildings it owns, leases and funds, over the course of their entire lifecycle (including planning, design, construction, operation and demolition). This policy supports the City’s larger goal of carbon-neutral City (corporate) operations given that 60% of the City’s greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings. For City-owned buildings, the update of C-532 will establishes stronger rationale for LEED certification, higher energy efficiency and intensity requirements, more ambitious carbon emissions requirements, new renewable energy generation requirements, new requirements for life cycle costing analysis, and new requirements for BOMA BEST 3.0 certification (for sustainable operations and maintenance, energy benchmarking and recommissioning). For buildings the City leases and private buildings that receive significant City funding, the updated policy will establish a suite of new sustainable building practices which previously did not exist. Next Steps: Updated Policy C-532 will be presented to Executive Committee in April 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Update of the City (corporate) Operations GHG Inventory: The purpose of this project is to: (1) establish a short-term plan for achieving the 2018 Corporate Measure – Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in City (corporate) Operations, (2) establish a ten-year plan (2019-2028) for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in City (corporate) operations, and (3) establish a corporate management and accountability framework for guiding the implementation and ongoing maintenance of these two plans. The current City (corporate) Operations GHG Management Plan was approved by Corporate Leadership Team in 2012. It sets an ambitious goal to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2020 (compared to 2008 levels). The reason the plan requires updating at this time is because a number of its key assumptions are obsolete – particularly those relating to infrastructure growth and the amounts of green power that would be purchased in this timeframe. Because the City is not on track to achieve the 2018 Corporate Target (in the red) there is need for action to fully understand the situation, evaluate possible corrective actions and report back to City Council with an updated plan. At year-end 2016, the project charter for this project had been drafted and submitted to the executive sponsors for approval.Next Steps: The project will commence in early 2017 with: (1) a report to City Council in summer 2017 detailing a short-term plan for achieving the 2018 Corporate Target, and (2) a second report to City Council in December 2017 outlining a ten-year plan and accountability framework. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) | ||

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Pilot Project: The purpose of this project is to advance the uptake of electric vehicles within the City’s municipal fleet through the provision of electric vehicle charging stations.At the September 28, 2016 Urban Planning Committee meeting, Administration presented an information report (CR_3961) identifying potential funding from Natural Resources Canada for electric vehicle charging station infrastructure, for which the City had applied. After receiving notification that its application was unsuccessful, Administration brought back a second report to Executive Committee on November 22, 2016 (CR_4178) recommending an electric vehicle charging station pilot project called Plug’n Go Edmonton that would fund the installation of 100 publicly-accessible Level 2 charging stations: 30 at City-owned facilities and 70 at privately owned facilities. It was intended that the pilot project would inform the development of Edmonton’s Electric Vehicle Strategy, including: (1) creating public awareness to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles, (2) understanding the relationship between electric vehicle purchases in Edmonton and the need for public charging station support, (3) evaluating the overall operational efficiency and effectiveness of Level 2 charging stations in Edmonton’s winter climate, and (4) understanding the potential effectiveness of different ownership and partnership models.In response to Council Report CR_4178, Executive Committee recommended the approval of capital funding for 30 electric vehicle charging stations on City-owned property. However, it did not approve funding for the 70 stations on private property. Instead, it requested that private ownership models be further explored when developing Edmonton’s Electric Vehicle Strategy. As well, Council postponed the decision on the capital funding for the 30 City-owned charging stations to April 2017.Next Steps: Fleet and Facility Services Branch will prepare a business case for the acquisition of electric vehicles to replace some of the existing light duty City fleet. This will include an analysis of charging station needs. This project is pending Council approval of the allocation of funding from the sustainable fleet reserve fund. As well, the overarching strategy (Edmonton’s Electric Vehicle Strategy) will be presented to Committee in July 2017. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) |
