An increasing number of cities throughout the country are turning toward clean, efficient, renewable energy to power their facilities and infrastructure. These renewable energy systems allow cities to become more independent from the grid and imported fossil fuels, boost the market for renewable technologies, increase job availability, move to more reliable and affordable resources, and display a visible public commitment to a sustainable energy future.
A new report published by Strategic Energy Innovations cites examples of existing standards for renewable energy, existing policies and programs that are and/or have been implemented by cities throughout the country, as well as different incentive programs that are being offered by the cities in order to boost the use of renewable energy throughout the community.
