In an effort to incentivize energy efficiency and reduce barriers to renewable energy access, City Council approved a two-and-a-half-year funding agreement with Chicago-based MC Squared Energy Services, LLC., according to a Thursday news release.
This partnership continues the city’s community choice electricity aggregation program, which aims to increase Evanston’s renewable energy usage and furthers the goals set by Evanston’s Climate Action and Resilience Plan.
So far, the city’s electricity aggregation program has already reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million metric tons since 2012, the release said. Under CARP, the city plans to reach a full renewable energy plan by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050.
