Please select the jurisdiction(s) <br />where your project is focused <br />and briefly state how your <br />project aligns with the relevant <br />Climate Action Plans (2-4 <br />sentences). <br /> <br />Please name the action items <br />from each relevant plan that best <br />align with your proposed project: <br />☐ Carrboro: https://townofcarrboro.org/928/Community-Climate- <br />Action-Plan <br />☐ Chapel Hill: <br />https://www.sustainchapelhill.org/featured/2020/2/18/climate- <br />action-and-response-plan <br />☐ Orange County: In progress, please instead show alignment with <br />the Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities. <br /> <br />This proposed project aligns with the above plan(s) in the following <br />ways: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />n <br />n <br />n <br />n <br />■ <br />Yes, The solarization of <br />HFH homes in Orange <br />County was enabled by <br />donations from Swedish <br />Match, Strata Clean <br />Energy, and grant funds <br />from the Orange County <br />Community Climate Action <br />Fund Program.n This project will likely only be <br />completed through funds <br />acquired from grants. <br />Both Carrboro and Chapel Hill have Climate Action Plans. <br /> The Climate Plan stipulates that the town of Chapel Hill <br />will see a 50% reduction in Greenhouse Gases by 2030. <br />This rooftop solar installation will reduce energy demand <br />in PEACH Apartments by over 50% during the next 30 <br />years, thereby decreasing emissions by the same <br />percentage. Moreover, the project establishes a <br />precedent for future affordable housing projects and <br />encourages projects to adopt renewable energy rather <br />than natural gas. This will help Chapel Hill attain its goal <br />of having 80% clean, renewable energy by 2030. <br />n <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: EB7B9CC8-B910-4965-AF93-0969E3E03E78
