Planned

• Achieved carbon neutrality of County government operations since FY2016 through a combination of energy efficiency, renewable energy, and offsets.
• Montgomery County is the 4th largest purchaser of clean energy amongst local governments and 31th among all major organizations tracked by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership.
• Increasing the County’s resiliency to major storms and disasters by installing clean energy microgrids at key public safety facilities, including completed projects at Public Safety Headquarters and the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

• County buildings are powered 100% by clean solar and wind.
• Energy efficiency and other cost saving projects since 2013 resulting in over $1.5 million in savings annually, expected to save over $65 million over the next 20 years.
• Download the FY2019 Green Government Report detailing our progress and accomplishments in reducing the County’s carbon footprint.

• Ten National Association of Counties (NACo) awards for sustainability initiatives since FY14, including awards for Montgomery County Microgrid Projects and Continuous Energy Improvement Program in FY18.
