- Working with the Municipal Energy Association of Nebraska (MEAN), the wholesale provider for Gunnison’s electric power.
- GVC³ worked with Sustainable Development Solutions Group (SDSG) on the evaluation of MEAN’s 2022 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and, with other environmental groups, recommended replacing coal with renewables. Urged MEAN to be far more inclusive of its members’ comments during their IRP public comment period.
- Engaged with SDSG to review and comment on the MEAN IRP with the goal to transform their energy from a fossil fuel dominated portfolio to a more sustainable, resilient, and economic renewable portfolio. If this were accomplished, not only the City of Gunnison but all of MEAN’s 60+ member towns and cities could participate in cleaner electricity.
- In April of 2022, GVC³ reached out to all of its Supporters and Core Members to send public commentary to MEAN on their 2022 IRP. We generated 27% of all public comments from its 60+ member municipalities, urging MEAN to more aggressively add renewables and begin to retire their interest in their coal plants.
