through local sources • Raise bicycle and transit mode
share • Recycle half of the waste
stream, compost 15% • Advance equity in infrastructure
and environmental benefits
![Page 9: Minneapolis Clean Energy Partnership · 2015. 4. 17. · Minneapolis as a climate leader 1993: Adopted Minneapolis/Saint Paul CO 2 Reduction Project 2003: Greenhouse gas reduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062508/6047aa1f24d4a940bf600a23/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Energy Pathways Recommendations
• Pursue traditional energy franchise agreements AND new Clean Energy Agreements with both utilities
• Agreements should focus on achieving the City’s Climate Action and Energy Vision Goals
• Leverage the shared goals of the City and utilities: increased adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy programs
• Work collaboratively • Continue the City’s work in state
regulatory processes
![Page 10: Minneapolis Clean Energy Partnership · 2015. 4. 17. · Minneapolis as a climate leader 1993: Adopted Minneapolis/Saint Paul CO 2 Reduction Project 2003: Greenhouse gas reduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062508/6047aa1f24d4a940bf600a23/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
New utility agreements • New franchise and Clean Energy
agreements signed in October 2014
• Franchise agreements have a minimum term of 5 years and maximum of 10 with renewal linked to progress on Partnership
• Established the Clean Energy Partnership and Board
• Since approval, City and utility staff have been working to launch the Partnership
![Page 11: Minneapolis Clean Energy Partnership · 2015. 4. 17. · Minneapolis as a climate leader 1993: Adopted Minneapolis/Saint Paul CO 2 Reduction Project 2003: Greenhouse gas reduction](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062508/6047aa1f24d4a940bf600a23/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Moving forward in partnership • CEP Board will meet quarterly • Partnership work will be guided by a two-year
work plan adopted by the Board • Energy Vision Advisory Committee will provide
feedback on the work plan and performance metrics

Key Questions
1. How would you prioritize each work plan item?
2. What should the role of the Partnership be in implementing/developing this program?
3. Are there any details or gaps in each idea that need to be developed more fully? Do you have thoughts on HOW something should be implemented?
