Community Energy Plan Implementation Framework Feedback

Introduction

Arlington County’s Community Energy Plan (CEP) was last updated and approved by the County Board in September 2019 as an Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The CEP describes the community’s broad energy goals and policies out to the year 2050.

This is the draft Community Energy Plan Implementation Framework (CEPIF) open for review and comment. Note that this dynamic document is undergoing review amongst County staff and the public.

As a companion document to the CEP, the CEPIF contains the list of near-term strategies the County intends to pursue to implement the comprehensive, long-term CEP. 

Background

The current phase of community engagement on the CEP Implementation Framework update is a continuation of public outreach efforts dating back to 2018. To provide additional context on the CEP Implementation Framework, County staff have created three background presentations, with each presentation covering the CEP Implementation Framework highlights for two of the six CEP Goal Areas. Each of those presentations can be accessed by clicking on the links below.

In addition, during December staff will answer questions from the public on the CEP Implementation Framework through a live, MS Teams session. If you are unable to participate in the live session, that session's recording will be linked below once it is available.

Provide Feedback

County staff seek your input on the draft CEP Implementation Framework, which can be accessed via the link below. As you review and comment on the draft document, here are a few specific questions to keep in mind:

  • For the current set of CEP Implementation Framework strategies, are there success stories from around the country where other localities have successfully implemented a similar strategy? 
  • Are there additional strategies you would like to see added to the list of CEP Implementation Framework strategies? 
  • Do the current list of strategies effectively address energy equity issues? If no, then how can we better weave energy equity into the CEP Implementation Framework?
