2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

Reserve and preserve appropriate public space for renewable energy production. » » Preserve the ability of south-facing rooftops, walls and lots to serve as solar energy generation areas » » Ensure landscaping in public spaces and surrounding public buildings will not prevent adequate solar collection should solar energy systems be installed » » Utilize best practices to reserve appropriate land for future wind production facilities Integrate renewable energy systems into city projects. » » Introduce solar energy systems into existing city facilities and infrastructure » » Design new public facilities and infrastructure to ensure they can serve as solar energy production sites » » Consider small-scale wind energy production facilities in public facilities » » Explore biomass as a potential fuel for city facilities » » Encourage investment in electric grid infrastructure to ensure reliability and resiliency to weather-related disruptions
