PLAN POLICIES Local energy planning is both relevant and important! While many energy issues are national or global in reach, local government has control over its own energy consumption and resources, and can lead by example to reduce energy use and costs, and to help develop local energy options, to the benefit of the entire community. Energy planning under the comprehensive municipal plan supports integrated policies and strategies for resource protection, transportation, land use, and community facilities and services. The municipal energy plan also forms the basis for related community energy programs and actions. Local land use regulations, action plans, and improvement programs – including municipal energy programs and projects – must conform to and implement plan policies and recommendations, as required under the Act. Municipal plan policies – as adopted community standards – also provide the basis for local participation in state regulatory proceedings including Act 250 and, for energy facility development, Public Service Board (Section 248) hearings. Before the Public Service Board can issue a Certificate of Public Good (CPG), for most projects it must find that "the purchase, investment, or construction, with respect to an in-state facility, will not unduly interfere with the orderly development of the region, with due consideration having been given to the recommendations of the municipal and regional planning commissions, the recommendations of the municipal legislative bodies, and the land conservation measures contained in the plan of any affected municipality." 4 The municipal plan can be a useful guide in these proceedings – if plan policies are clear, are internally consistent (not contradictory), and are specific enough to apply to a particular project or project location within the community. The municipal plan also supports community participation in long-range state and utility energy planning, including the update of the following plans, as required under state law: Vermont Comprehensive Energy Plan, updated every five years by the Department of Public Service (30 V.S.A. § 202b),5 Vermont Long Range Transmission Plan, updated every three years by the Vermont Electric Company (VELCO) to address the long- term capacity and reliability of Vermont's electric transmission and distribution systems (under 30 V.S.A. § 218c), 4 "Due consideration" in this context has been interpreted by the PSB and the Vermont Supreme Court "to at least impliedly postulate that municipal enactments, in the specific area, are advisory rather than controlling (e.g., see In re UPC Vermont Wind LLC (2009) http://info.libraries.vermont.gov/supct/current/op2007-456.html ). 5 As of this writing, the 2011 State Comprehensive Energy Plan is under development, for release in October. A number of options for public participation in the planning process have been provided. For more information go to the state energy plan website: http://www.vtenergyplan.vermont.gov/. Related State Planning Goals: (1) To plan development so as to maintain the historic settlement pattern of compact village and urban centers separated by rural countryside. ... Public investments, including the construction or expansion of infrastructure, should reinforce the general character and planned growth patterns of the area. (4) To provide for the safe, convenient, economic and energy efficient transportation systems that respect the integrity of the natural environment, including public transit options and paths for pedestrians and bicyclers. (5) To identify, protect and preserve important natural and historic features of the Vermont landscape. (9) To encourage and strengthen agriculture and forest industries. (12) To provide for, finance and provide an efficient system of public facilities and services to meet future needs. 4PDF Image | POLICY GUIDE FOR SOUTHERN WINDSOR COUNTY
