ANN ARBOR, MI – In its A2Zero carbon-neutrality plan, Ann Arbor set an ambitious goal last year to power the entire community with 100% renewable energy by 2030.

As city leaders look to move forward, they’re now forming key criteria and guiding principles for investments in energy efficiency and generating and purchasing renewable energy, including local solar installations and potential bulk purchases of renewable energy from elsewhere.
