Community Energy Cooperative Analyzes Energy Future of Kane County

Monday, April 25th, 2005

CNT’s Community Energy Cooperative held a roundtable meeting in Kane County, Illinois last week to discuss the County’s future energy needs. Kane County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state; its population is projected to increase 71 percent over the next twenty years. The Cooperative, as part of its Kane County Energy Solutions project, has been working over the last several months to analyze what the potential future energy demand associated with this population growth would look like, and to offer some demand reduction strategies. It presented its findings and possible conservation strategies—including better building practices and growth planning combined with smarter energy practices on the part of households—on Friday to residents and leaders in the County.
