City of Detroit’s Post

🌞This was a big week for the City of Long Beach🌞 The city council voted to enroll 470 of their municipal accounts into PowerMarket's community solar program! 🎉 This is a monumental shift towards a sustainable future! By switching this portion of their energy demand, they're setting a powerful example for cities nationwide and proving that Californians want community solar options. This initiative not only aligns with Long Beach’s ambitious climate goals but also brings significant savings. The city will save an estimated $35,000 annually, demonstrating that achieving climate goals doesn't have to come with costs. What's even more exciting? Long Beach residents and other SCE customers who don’t have rooftop solar can also enroll in this program. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone in the community can contribute to and benefit from a cleaner, greener future. Check the comments for a link to sign up. Shout out to Jason Kaplan, the incredible Long Beach Sustainability Team, and the dedicated Long Beach City council and Mayor for making this possible. #CommunitySolar #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #LongBeach #PowerMarket #ClimateAction

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, here are just some of the steps we are currently taking at The Landmark Trust towards make our work even more environmentally sustainable: 🟢 Installing electric car charging points at all Landmarks with parking 🟢 Ensuring all new Landmarks have renewable or low-carbon heating and hot water systems 🟢 Converting ten of our biggest carbon emitting buildings to renewable energy 🟢 Installing wind and solar infrastructure on Lundy to power the island with green energy 🟢 Undertaking a national programme of insulation and draught-proofing across our buildings 🟢 Expanding recycling facilities across Landmark's estate Conservation is at the heart of what we do, and our entire approach to buildings, furniture and life in general has always been about adapting and reusing. We believe heritage is part of the solution to the extraordinary challenges of climate change, and are committed to always play our part in tackling them.

We're thrilled to be working on a groundbreaking project in Melbourne's west, in partnership with the Department of Transport and Planning, RMIT University, Centre for New Energy Technologies (C4NET), Monash University, CitiPower and Powercor.     The Digital Twin-enabled Sustainable Sunshine Precinct development project will utilise the cutting-edge digital twin technology available through the DTV platform https://lnkd.in/gQTQgpyD to transform Sunshine Precinct into a model for sustainable urban development. Here's what this means:    ➡ Data-driven decisions: We'll leverage data on energy, water, buildings, greenery, and urban climate to make informed choices about the precinct's future.  ➡Building resilience: The project will focus on making Sunshine Precinct more resistant to climate change, including extreme weather events like heatwaves and droughts.  ➡Exploring clean energy: We'll investigate ways to use renewable energy sources like solar power and community batteries, promoting a low-carbon future. By creating a more sustainable and resilient Sunshine Precinct, we're paving the way for a greener, healthier future for all Australians.

🌍 Can Dundee Become Scotland's First Net Zero City? 🌱 Dundee is taking a bold step towards a sustainable future. The Dundee City Council recently approved an ambitious plan that could see Dundee become Scotland's first net zero city. The Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP), created by the Dundee Climate Leadership Group (DCLG), maps out a comprehensive approach to create an energy system that is both innovative and clean. The LAEP is targeting several key areas to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Retrofitting 50,000 homes by 2033 and another 20,000 homes by 2045 is crucial for increasing energy efficiency. This plan could dramatically decrease residential energy consumption and bring long-term benefits to homeowners by lowering energy bills. Additionally, the city aims to cover up to a third of its heating needs through low carbon technologies like heat networks and heat pumps. Transport also plays a significant role in Dundee's net zero ambitions. By creating safer walking and cycling routes, the LAEP intends to reduce transport demand by 15%. Moreover, increasing investment in electric vehicle charging points and promoting alternative transport fuels will further propel the city towards its green goals. Encouraging the installation of PV panels and battery systems in buildings is another step forward in Dundee's solar energy aspirations, aiming to persuade more consumers to adopt this technology 🌞. Can Dundee achieve this ambitious plan? It certainly has the framework and backing to do so. The success of this initiative will depend on continued investment, community involvement, and technological advancements. What are your thoughts on Dundee's path to becoming net zero?

Our social media manager recently returned from the incredible Burning Man experience, where she witnessed an impressive amount of solar expertise! From her camp to some of the most iconic art installations, the desert was a shining example of what’s possible with sustainable energy. This year, Black Rock City had 1,188 placed camps. According to Bryant Tan, Associate Director of City Planning in Black Rock City, 52% of placed camps in 2024 were working towards Burning Man’s 2030 Environmental Sustainability Roadmap, and 61% were using alternative power, primarily solar. “If things go according to plan for this event, we will have reduced the carbon impact of producing power for the infrastructure of BRC by more than 65% in just three years’ time,” says Chris Neary, the Associate Director of the DPW known as ChAos. Burners have always led the way in innovating cultural, technological, and logistical solutions—and now, these innovations are making their way into the wider world to tackle global challenges far beyond Black Rock City! #SolarPower #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #CarbonNegative #EnvironmentalSustainability #BurningMan2024 #SolarInnovation #SustainableLiving #EnergyTransition #SolarGrid #GreenTechnology #EcoFriendly #FutureOfEnergy #NetZero2030 #SustainableSolutions #SolarCommunity #EnergyEfficiency

🌿 Embracing Change: The Energy Transition in Latrobe Valley 🌿 The Latrobe Valley in Gippsland is undergoing a remarkable transformation as it shifts from traditional energy sources to more sustainable alternatives.
