Fort Lauderdale Net Zero Plan 2025

ROADMAP TO NET ZERO  111

Strategy: Renewable Energy Ensuring the City can meet the reduction targets for buildings and facility GHG emissions, the City needs to implement efforts to transition to clean, low-carbon energy sources. ▪ By 2030, a 33% reduction from 2019 municipal buildings and facilities GHG emissions requires subscribing to FPL SolarTogether ® for all municipal operations, conducting studies and pilot programs to evaluate the feasibility of on-site renewable energy, identifying priority areas and developing a Citywide plan for a transition to renewable energy, and advocating for renewable energy mandates for utilities. ▪ By 2040, an 84% reduction from the 2019 municipal buildings and facilities baseline relies on continuing engagement with stakeholders to build support for renewable energy initiatives, providing staff training on the operation and maintenance of renewable energy systems, updating City policies to facilitate renewable energy installations, forming coalitions to strengthen advocacy efforts, and submitting proposals to state and federal agencies outlining renewable energy initiatives and funding requirements. ▪ By 2050, a 99% reduction from the 2019 municipal buildings and facilities baseline requires the establishment of a system for monitoring and evaluating renewable energy projects to track progress, and continued engagement with external stakeholders to ensure available renewable energy on the grid continues to expand.
