City's Energy-Efficiency Goals Nearly Met
The City’s facilities are now 18 percent more energy efficient and a 36-percent increase in fuel efficiency has been achieved for the vehicle fleet due to the 20-40-15 initiative.
In 2006 the City of Eden Prairie kicked off the “20-40-15” initiative, which calls for the City to improve energy efficiency in all of its facilities by 20 percent, increase the fuel efficiency of its vehicle fleet by 40 percent, and accomplish these goals by the year 2015.
As 2015 draws closer, the City is poised to meet and possibly exceed its goals, as noted in an update presented to the City Council at a recent workshop session. While there are still several projects planned or underway, the City’s facilities are now 18 percent more energy efficient and a 36-percent increase in fuel efficiency has been achieved for the vehicle fleet.
