\n\nBackground:
\n\nCity of Faribault - Organizer of Energy Management Breakfast
\nIn 2016\, the City of Faribault applied to participate in Xcel Energy&rsquo\;s Partners in Energy\, a two-year offering designed to support communities in developing and implementing an energy action plan to drive community-driven goals around energy. The City of Faribault was selected by Xcel Energy to be the seventh Partners in Energy community in Minnesota.
As a Partners in Energy participant\, the City of Faribault gained unique access to city-specific energy data in conjunction with data analysis expertise. These resources allowed the City&rsquo\;s Energy Action Team to uncover opportunities to reduce energy waste and excess spending on energy.
\n\nGrounded in the values and strategic priorities of Faribault&rsquo\;s Community Vision 2040\, the Energy Action Team developed an energy plan (Faribault'\;s Energy Action Plan) that outlines a city-wide energy goal and cost-effective energy strategies to achieve it. The plan was approved by City Council on April 11\, 2017.
\n\nFaribault&rsquo\;s Energy Goal
\nReduce community-wide energy expenditure by 1 perent annually from business as usual (2015 baseline).
By 2040 this is estimated to save Faribault residents and businesses over $8 million a year\, with accumulated savings of over $100 million.
\n\nHow will we get there?
\n\nEvents like this breakfast help the community reach its energy goals.
