    Options Used

    Reduce consumption of electricity and fuel and increase renewable energy capacity to increase regional resilience, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and Protect, maintain and expand the urban tree canopy. Develop policies to enhance the urban tree canopy in ways that protect pedestrians and bicyclists from heat and pollution exposure.

    Relevant Options

    Build electricity grid resilience by increasing system capacity, increasing tension in lines to reduce sag and adding external coolers to transformers. Lines and transformers may overheat and trip off Increase adoption of distributed energy resources such as solar and wind by lowering financial and regulatory barriers to permitting and development. When installed with battery backup or emergency power Beyond strengthening existing systems, increase system redundancy to protect critical infrastructure from power outages.
