Humboldt County General Plan Local Energy Resources. 2013. ![Humboldt County General Plan Local Energy Resources [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper abstract bibtex The purpose of this chapter is to present policies and programs to address energy needs, use, and conservation. This chapter provides goals, policies, standards, and implementation measures that strive for sustainable renewable energy and self-sufficiency. 12.2 Relationship to Other Elements Energy conservation is reflected in the Land Use and Circulation elements' policies, promoting in-fill development supported by transit, bike, and pedestrian transportation options; and in Housing Element policies promoting construction of energy efficient homes. Policies that facilitate energy production are located in the Land Use Element and Water Resources Element. 12.3 Background Energy and Land Use There is a close link between energy consumption and production and the physical development of land. Land use development policies strongly impact how much energy is consumed, and zoning and development strategies can affect the ability to develop and transport future energy resources. Humboldt County has a number of unique features with respect to energy. It is isolated at the end of electricity and natural gas transmission lines, and the capacity of these lines is not great enough to import all of the county's required energy. Related to these capacity constraints is the fact that the county currently produces a large portion of its electricity locally and also supplies some of its own natural gas needs. The county also has a tremendous amount of potential local energy resources, in the form of wind, wave, biomass, hydroelectric, and solar power. Conservation is also viewed as an energy resource and is considered in the Housing and Circulation elements of this Plan. And finally, there is much local interest and expertise and a strong desire to develop long-term energy self-sufficiency for the region. The majority of primary energy used in Humboldt County is imported, with the exception of biomass energy. Local biomass resources are used to provide about 25% to 30% of the county's electricity needs. The biomass resource is primarily derived from lumber mill wood residue. There is significant growth potential in biomass energy through the use of logging slash, forest thinning and fuel-load reduction materials.
