Community Energy Strategic Plan

The McLean County Community Energy Strategic Plan (CESP) is a guide in development to address the energy needs and consumption of the local community. The plan will outline specific goals, strategies, and actions the community and local governments can make to enhance energy efficiency, promote renewable energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve broader sustainability objectives. The CESP is built off of previous Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories completed by the Ecology Action Center that pinpoint where emissions have increased and decreased over the years in areas such as transportation, electricity, and natural gas. Stakeholders and community engagement are key in the planning process.
