- Target: 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% renewable energy for heat and transportation by 2050
- Status: In progress
- RES: Solar power
- Implementation: Cheltenham Township has the goal of achieving 100% renewable energy across all sectors by 2050 by focusing on efficiency upgrade of public and private buildings, and the transitioning of public transportation to renewable fuels. The township is developing a transition plan which will facilitate the adoption of technologies as they become available and affordable. Essential is the cost neutrality of transitioning to renewable energy, as this will guide decisions involving buildings, vehicles and energy suppliers. It will impact transportation infrastructure and land use planning, in particular zoning codes with regards to energy efficiency. The township is presently working to review zoning requirements and remove restrictions that intentionally or unintentionally prohibit PV development. (Source: cheltenhamtownship.org)
