This presentation outlines a 3-step pathway for local governments to achieve 100% renewable energy: 1) Lead by understanding opportunities like solar, wind and efficiency. 2) Plan by matching opportunities to needs, choosing financing, and engaging stakeholders. 3) Implement the renewable energy plan through projects, then succeed by sharing examples like regional councils that deployed solar, efficiency and waste-to-energy to transition away from fossil fuels.

2. This is what most local governments worry about
when considering a 100% renewable energy goal:

How will we
finance this?
How can we
get the
necessary
support?
What
should we
do and
when?
Inaction leads to
missing out and
falling behind
peers

3. What a 100% RE future looks like:
Innovative
financing
solutions
Support from
councillors &
operational
management
Staged Energy
Efficiency &
RE solutions
The local
government runs
on 100% renewable
energy
