The City of Bend is committed to strategic energy management in our own facilities and operations.

WHAT WE ARE DOING

The City will adopted its Strategic Energy Management Plan in Fall 2020, which describes actions the City will take to achieve its fossil fuel reduction goals established in Resolution 3044. The City will continue implementing projects described in the Plan over the next several years.

Solar

• In 2020, the City installed 360 solar panels at the Water Filtration Facility. The solar installation will help the City reduce its carbon emissions by nearly 180,000 pounds per year over 20 years. Read the WFF Solar Installation Project FAQ to learn more.

LED Street Light Conversion

• Starting July 2019, the City converted over 2,000 existing public street lights to 3,000 Kelvin energy efficient, light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures to reduce the City’s energy costs, maintenance costs and carbon emissions. Read the LED Street Light Conversion Fact Sheet for more information.
