Madison - Energy Management Strategy

August 16, 2006

Summary

The City of Madison is one of more than 290 cities and counties around the world in the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) Cities for Climate Protection Campaign. With grant funding from ICLEI, the City developed a Climate Protection Plan. Among its strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are plans to add a renewable energy source to one city building and to develop a green building program. The city recently completed a PV parking shade structure, and the Metropolitan Transit Authority is purchasing green power (wind generated) for half of its electricity needs. Their Green Building Program is nearing completion.
