10x10
In 2007, the Jackson Town Council and Board of Teton County Commissioners took action to improve energy efficiencies and reduce heat trapping gas emissions by forming an Energy Efficiency Advisory Board (EEAB) tasked with improving energy efficiency in local governmental operations.
In order to provide focus for the newly formed Board, the Town and County adopted an aggressive energy reduction target for local government operations, committing to 10% reduction in electricity and a 10% reduction in fossil fuel use by the year 2010 (hence, 10x10).
The 10x10 Scorecard shows how the Town, County and Joint Departments are performing in their 10x10 efforts so far this year. This scorecard represents energy use from the first three months of 2010 (January-March) and will be updated quarterly.
A number of projects are currently underway to install energy efficiency upgrades in Town and County facilities . We will start to see the energy savings from those projects in the coming months.
Most of the accomplishments to date have been through Town and County employees taking the initiative to change how they use fuel and electricity every day.
More information about the 10x10 effort, including the Action Plan, is available from Teton County.
