Energy PlanIntroduction
Burlington’s Community Energy Plan has a 20-year time horizon and will involve continued collaboration with key stakeholders and community engagement. This is not a ‘city hall’ plan but a community-based plan. It has already started conversations on possible opportunities, such as integrated community energy systems, district energy heating and cooling networks, and electric vehicle charging stations.
