Summary
The ‘strategy’ is a guide to multi-jurisdictional energy action planning providing a framework to facilitate streamlined, inter-entity collaboration in our region’s efforts to effectively manage energy resources, reduce energy costs and meet energy, transportation fuel, water, and waste reduction goals. Our “region,” in this document, is defined as Ouray and San Miguel Counties. The strategy offers a number of related recommendations in the form of a mission, vision, goals, targets, guiding principles, objectives, strategies for achieving objectives and potential action items. Over time, new action items may be generated, using the guiding principles of the strategy. The content of the strategy is informed by the findings of regional energy use data from local utilities and regional governments, San Miguel County’s 2007 Emissions Inventories, and ideas developed at collaborative planning meetings held throughout 2010 of the Western San Juan Community Energy Board (WSJCEB). Recommendations prioritize the greatest opportunities revealed by our Inventories and regional guiding principles.
