Tuesdays at APA-DC: Arlington County's "Community Energy Plan"

Arlington County's "Community Energy Plan"
July 12, 2011


Arlington County's "Community Energy Plan" is a strategic
planning effort to ensure economic competitiveness and energy
supply security while reinforcing the county's environmental
commitment. Through this process Arlington will transform the way
it generates, distributes, stores, and uses energy.


A nationally recognized leader in climate action, Arlington
County is working to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas
emissions from government operations through the Arlington
Initiative to Reduce Emissions (AIRE) program. The county has
broadened that effort into the community to chart a course toward
a healthy, viable, sustainable Arlington for generations to come.


The plan aims to sharply reduce energy use in Arlington,
including an ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by more than 70 percent by 2050.
