The City of Saskatoon has developed a long-term, city-wide Renewable and Low-emissions Energy Implementation Plan (Plan). The Plan presents the status, conditions, and challenges for renewable energy in Saskatoon and provides an action plan showing the near and long-term actions recommended to meet energy-related targets from the Low Emissions Community Plan. The development of the Plan was informed by what we heard from the community, along with best practice research from other cities and internal considerations.
How Did We Engage
From January 2021 to July 2022 a total of 884 community members, subject matter experts and industry professionals were engaged in the development of the Plan. Throughout the engagement process we asked the community for their feedback on:
- How can the City lead by example to increase renewable energy use in Saskatoon?
- What are barriers and challenges preventing renewable energy self-generation within Saskatoon?
- What can the City do to improve accessibility and uptake of renewable energy across the community?
The feedback collected was used to inform the recommended program options to improve renewable energy use in Saskatoon. To learn more about what we heard please see the Final Engagement Report.
How Can You Get Involved?
Public engagement for this project has closed. The Plan was presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Environment, Utilities, and Corporate Services on Monday, November 7th, 2022 and will be presented to City Council on November 21st, 2022.
