Tompkins County Energy Roadmap:
Evaluating Our Energy Resources
Deputy Commissioner of Planning, Katie Borgella, will present the Tompkins County vision of how to reduce our fossil fuel dependency and create a sustainable economy. Please come and invite your neighbors and friends!
The Tompkins County Energy Roadmap was developed to help guide activities around energy-related decision making and includes an assessment of the potential of various local renewable energy sources to power the community, as well as the role that energy efficiency and demand management can play in reducing energy use. The Roadmap puts those assessments into the context of a current overall community energy picture and projected use in 2050 to identify scenarios for how both energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions goals can be met.

We’re all in this together, so let’s get together and figure out our best course of actions, together.
