The industrial development of our global economy, particularly through delivery of electricity, has provided prosperity for millions. However, impacts to our environment from the production and uses of energy has taught us that a sustainable future depends on more responsible approaches. GCEA’s strategic priority is to ensure a wonderful future for our members and their posterity through leadership in the transition to renewable energy sources and by taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Strategic Results:
• In 2024 and through 2028, GCEA will continue to demonstrate leadership by improving the energy efficiency and electrification of our vehicles and equipment.
• By the end of 2025, achieve 7% local renewable power supply.
• By 2030*, achieve at least 80% of power supply from renewable sources by working with energy partners, including Tri-State G&T, to implement options to maximize cost competitive and reliable power supply.
• By 2030*, GCEA will reduce greenhouse gas emissions within GCEA’s entire circle of influence – power supply, beneficial electrification, and in-house footprint – by 90%compared to a 2015 baseline.
*aligns to timing of Tri-State’s strategic goals, but outside our planning period
