4. Future City of Highlands Ranch Energy Vision Strategic Plan to Reduce Reliance on Foreign Oil and 3 rd Party Energy Sources - Municipality is just focused on energy issues - Reduce taxes for residents - Increase revenues through innovative partnerships - Empower the residents to becoming less reliant on energy provided by others
5. Future City of Highlands Ranch Vision It's the year 2020 and a typical household produces 50 % of their electrical needs from a rooftop solar panel. The other 50% is generated from the compact six foot tall wind turbine generator. This home has been off the Colorado grid for over five years and earns an energy rebate back from Xcel Energy each month. The scientific energy industrial park located off of Lucent Blvd has 50 wind turbines producing enough electricity to power the entire Town Center and local neighborhoods within a 5-mile radius. The city earns rebate money. Highlands Ranch drivers can purchase energy efficient autos using the special “Highlands Ranch Energy Discount” that makes the auto cheaper to purchase than anywhere else in the U.S. Hydrogen/Bio Fuel pumps are ubiquitous in Highlands Ranch. Homeowners receive an annual dividend energy check from local renewable energy and alternative fuel industries that relocated here 13 years ago. Today, these energy firms are producing solar panels, bio fuel technology and other innovative foreign oil reduction products and services that earns a profit for the city taxpayers.
6. Future City of Highlands Ranch Vision During the 2014 oil shortage and a gallon of gas cost $6.75, Highlands Ranch drivers plugged their autos into their home solar electric power station and were able to navigate the Colorado highways while others could not. Back in the year 2010, local leaders decided to empower the residents to transform the city into an energy efficiency enterprise. Local, state and federal agencies are now replicating Highlands Ranch's innovative energy consumption tax models that produces local energy-related revenue while off-setting other property taxes. Worldwide leaders routinely visit Highlands Ranch to learn how a 90,000 resident base voted on a City Charter to support the municipality to form revenue sharing energy efficiency partnerships. The entire city is now off the grid and self reliant on its local energy needs.
