17585854104City of Boulder, COUnited States of AmericaNorth America6. Opportunities6.6Has your city tested their climate actions through pilot/demonstration projects?2Description of project and weblink1Tested by city governmentThe City of Boulder had tested numerous climate actions through pilot projects in order to better understand the benefits and obstacles that each solution poses. This allows us to better communicate these potential actions with our community, as well as work to break down any barriers that we encounter when piloting the action ourselves. Some examples of our pilot projects include heat pump technologies in homes and businesses, electric vehicle adoption in our fleet along with installation of various forms of charging technologies, innovative solar solutions such as car ports, as well as our own Energy Challenge, which provided grant opportunities to fund pilot projects for innovative solutions from the community designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Boulder. This allowed groups with innovative ideas to test or trial their technologies. Funded initiatives include EVmatch Community Charging Network, acceleration of green lease practices, the Boulder.Earth community portal, an inclusive renewable energy and energy efficiency workforce development program, etc. Details of that program are found here: https://bouldercolorado.gov/sustainability/boulder-energy-challenge

In November 2020, the Boulder community elected to pause its municipalization efforts and instead enter a new 20-year franchise and partnership with Xcel Energy. Based on current models, Xcel Energy is forecasting that its 2030 grid mix could be as much as 80% renewable, with an 85% reduction in GHG emissions compared to their 2005 baseline. Closing the gap between the city’s goal and Xcel Energy’s grid mix is a priority for the partnership. While there are multiple pathways that can be pursued to do this, those pathways represent different value propositions in terms of cost, impact, timeline, and risk. The City is currently working on standing up community groups to provide advice, feedback, and assistance in charting the community’s energy future and determining the optimal pathway to bridging the gaps between Xcel’s 80% renewable grid in 2030 and our community target of 100%. More details on the Xcel partnership can be found in the Feb. 23, 2021 study session memo (https://documents.bouldercolorado.gov/WebLink/edoc/174746/02.23.21%20%20City%20Council%20Study%20Session%20packet.pdf?dbid=0&repo=LF8PROD2)
17588154104City of Boulder, COUnited States of AmericaNorth America8.0aPlease provide details of your renewable energy target(s) and how the city plans to meet those targets.11Comment2With more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Boulder is the perfect place to take advantage of solar and has set a goal to have 50 MW of local generation of electricity through renewable energy sources by 2020, 100 MW by 2030 and 175 MW by 2050. To achieve this goal, the City of Boulder hired consultants in 2017 to provide recommendations on actions that would inform the city’s overall solar strategy. These series of actions, over 50, are available here and lay out the way the city will approach this goal: https://www-static.bouldercolorado.gov/docs/COB_Final_Solar_Action_Strategies-1-201803131027.pdf?_ga=2.84904479.7226164.1557152915-1865843188.1539968573The strategies to achieve this goal include performance-based incentives, collaborate portfolio procurement, green leasing, community solar gardens, feed-in tariffs, PV+storage contracts, and using strategic financing mechanisms. On April 16, the Boulder City Council authorized lease agreements for bulk purchasing of solar PV that will add 2.75 megawatts of solar capacity to 14 city-owned properties, bringing the city’s total solar portfolio to 6.45 megawatts and demonstrating progress toward the city's overall community climate commitment goals by utilizing one of the strategies identified. Progress is tracked in the annual inventory and also reported here: https://bouldercolorado.gov/boulder-measures/local-renewable-generation
