Consultation has concluded
The Town of Aurora is developing a Community Energy Plan (CEP) – a comprehensive long-term plan to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
To reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption locally, it’s critical that this plan represents the insights and ideas of our community members.
CEP Background:
The CEP will identify opportunities for green energy solutions and conservation measures meant to support local economic development and community objectives of energy conservation and waste and greenhouse gas emission reduction.
The plan will address such things as energy efficient buildings and neighborhoods, energy efficient transportationContinue reading

CEP Background:
The CEP will identify opportunities for green energy solutions and conservation measures meant to support local economic development and community objectives of energy conservation and waste and greenhouse gas emission reduction.
The plan will address such things as energy efficient buildings and neighborhoods, energy efficient transportation systems, efficient energy distribution, clean and renewable energy, and greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to other areas that may be identified through the public consultation process.
Do you have an idea or suggestion to advance the implementation of the Community Energy Plan (CEP)?
This is an open forum where you can share your ideas and suggestions to help the Town of Aurora move forward the implementation of the CEP.

I understand your concept, but all the retrofitting of private homes can only be done if the people who own them have the money (or wish to spend it). Also, I am concerned that a lot of the subdivisions where these people will live, work and play are going to be built on good farm land or where there are presently forests. Are these subdivisions going to be private homes or condo/apartment buildings? Do you already have employers ready to move in or are you hoping that people will work on line? There are many unanswered questions. The overall idea is good, but the devil (literally) is in the details. I am aware that no one wants to lose the small town feel, but 79,000 is an awfully large small town. Should we perhaps be considering building up instead of out? Linda Adler
Community Energy Plan (CEP) has finished this stage
Stakeholder and Community Engagement will include the Stakeholder Working Group, engagement with municipal staff, utilities and the public.
Stage 2 - Ongoing Engagement & Analysis of Opportunities
Community Energy Plan (CEP) has finished this stage
Gathering and analyzing existing baseline data*, including energy mapping; allowing for analysis of opportunities for energy reduction/conservation initiatives.
*The Community Energy & Emissions Baseline will measure: Buildings, Transportation and Waste
Stage 3 - Creation of the Plan
Community Energy Plan (CEP) is currently at this stage
The creation of the Plan and presentation to the General Committee and Council for approval. Long-term vision and strategy for energy conservation and green energy solutions.
