An energy action plan for Bloomington  

The City of Bloomington is excited to provide these opportunities to businesses as part of our initiatives to drive energy savings that will contribute to reaching our goal of 75% reduction in city-wide energy-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, relative to 2016 levels.

In 2017, City Council approved Bloomington’s Energy Action Plan. The plan was developed through a community stakeholder process, and includes a goal of 70 businesses participating in an energy assessment or recommissioning study by 2020. Taking next steps for your business will lower your bottom line and help the City reach its Energy Action Plan Goals.
