The Eden Prairie City Council adopted a Climate Action Plan in March 2020, with the overall goal of achieving community-wide carbon neutrality by 2050.

Strategies for achieving carbon neutrality are identified in the categories of commercial/industrial and residential efficiency, electric grid mix changes, renewable energy, fuel switching in buildings, travel and waste.

The successful implementation of the plan's strategies and actions requires critical partnerships with homeowners, businesses, nonprofit organizations, other regulatory agencies, Xcel Energy, CenterPoint Energy and the private sector advancement of emerging technologies.

Many steps have already been taken which position the City well to be a leader in community-wide carbon reduction. However, a sustained push to encourage, regulate, incentivize and lead as the plan is implemented over the next 30 years is necessary.
