Part II:
Over 75% of the power provided by Aspen Electric is renewable energy; generated by solar panels, wind power and hydroelectric systems on local rivers. Aspen Electric also has a new tiered-rate system. The top 7% of electric users will pay $0.23/kWh compared to $0.07/kWh for customers in the lowest tier. This helps to encourage the largest users to reduce their electric expenditure.
Part III:
The City of Aspen has enacted a recycling ordinance that requires waste haulers to include recycling in the cost of trash pick-up, ensuring that all citizens and businesses have recycling pick-up available. The city’s building department has also agreed to the 2030 Challenge, which is a program designed to reduce the impact of new buildings (http://www.usgbc.org/). Unlike the voluntary LEED standard, the 2030 Challenge will be required.
