How do we get there from here?
Council approves the Project Development Agreement (PDA) that will allow the Alternative Energy Team to start the Audit Phase with Siemens.
Siemens/CPH completes the audit of selected sites and potential savings projects while working with city staff.
Staff then evaluates audited energy savings option and compiles recommended project listing.
Team schedules a future workshop item with council in 4 – 6 months to present specific project recommendations, expected outcome, projected savings and potential funding sources/options. At this point the Project Development Agreement has been completed and Council may move forward with the process or opt to take no further action if desired.
Projects are completed and savings begin to be realized. A portion of the savings then pays for the projects funding.
