Garforth International and a team of city employees recently presented a Community Energy Plan to a town hall meeting in Holland. The plan provided national and world-wide background information on energy issues, and suggested a course of action for the City of Holland leading up to its bicentennial in 2047. Five scenarios for managing and meeting future electric demands were offered, with various combinations of: wind energy, natural gas generation, district heating infrastructure, solar energy, biofuels, wood chips, coal, and wastewater treatment plant sludge incineration. Scenario B was recommended, which proposes continuing the city’s current course of action, aggressively pursuing energy efficiency projects, and making investments in wind, solar, and other renewable resources. The next step is to have the Community Sustainability Committee make recommendations to the City Council.
