Sustainability and Energy Action Plan

"IT'S THE CLIMATE" GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN What can be done? Actions the City can take to minimize these hazards include: ●Developing energy independence through off -grid power sourcing (especially to essential City services) to allow for continued services without reliance on grid functionality and/or during short -term power outages. ●Utilizing regenerative local energy sources as opposed to other off -grid options for both vehicles and facilities operations to avoid supply issues arising from physical isolation or shortages. ●Mitigating natural hazard increases to decrease the severity of impacts. ●Increasing independence from fuels with volatile/increasing markets. ●Reducing City operations’ negative impacts on livability in Grants Pass. ●Investing in long -term energy savings. 22
