Local and tribal governments must submit a proposed Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS) to the Department of Energy (DOE) to meet the statutory requirements for the EECBG Program. The recipient must provide the information outlined in Section 1 to meet the EECS requirement. Please note that questions 4 and 5 of Section 1 are for local governments only.
Tribal governments may skip questions 4 and 5 of Section 1 of the EECS. Section 2 of the EECS is optional for both local and tribal governments.
Section 1 (required):
Local and tribal governments must include within their proposed strategy a description of their goals for increased energy efficiency and conservation in the jurisdiction. Does your local government have existing energy efficiency and conservation or related goals? Yes, our government does have an existing goal and contains the following.
Goal Name Specific goal (e.g. 80% GHG
reduced from 1990 levels)
Target year (e.g. 2050)
GHG reduction goal 80% GHG reduced from 1990
levels
2050
GHG reduction goal 40% GHG reduced from 2016
levels

Does your local or tribal government have an existing plan or strategy document (e.g., climate action plan, energy conservation plan, comprehensive energy plan, etc.) to reduce energy use, increase energy efficiency, reduce emissions, or train workers for high-quality energy efficiency jobs? Yes Enter web URL address :
Do you intend to update your plan in the next two years? Yes Are you planning to use any of your EECBG Program funds to update your plan?No 2 Are you planning to use an EECBG Program Blueprint? No We plan to apply our EECBG Program funds to the following categories of work:
Programs for financing, purchasing, and installing energy efficiency, renewable energy, and zero- emission transportation (and associated infrastructure) How will your use of funds help your unit of government meet its strategy/goals? Installation of EV charging infrastructure will help encourage residents and businesses to purchase and use zero emission vehicles. EV infrastructure at public locations will help eliminate range anxiety for EV users in the corridor. The City of Murrieta is uniquely located at the intersection of the I-15 & I-215 freeway and has higher than average EV vehicles per capita. The installation of additional infrastructure will help the City in obtaining its greenhouse reduction goals.
Provide a brief description of your project:
The project will install multiple EV charging stations at two city facilities.
