Catoosa Community Energy Strategic Resilience Plan

Halff is supporting the Indian Nation Council of Governments (INCOG) and the City of Catoosa in developing a Community Energy Strategic Plan (CESP) to improve energy affordability, reduce energy consumption, expand access to renewable energy and strengthen long-term community energy resilience. The planning effort establishes a community-specific framework for identifying energy needs, evaluating opportunities and aligning local priorities with available programs and resources.

Halff is integrating demographic and economic analysis, energy opportunity assessments, GIS-based mapping and community engagement to establish a baseline understanding of local energy conditions. Stakeholder meetings and public outreach, including a community energy survey, are informing the plan’s vision, goals and recommended actions. The technical analysis will evaluate opportunities for residential energy efficiency and weatherization, renewable energy participation and improved energy access, with particular attention to energy affordability and equitable access to program benefits.

The resulting plan will provide Catoosa with actionable recommendations supported by planning-level cost estimates, potential federal, state and utility funding sources as well as a phased implementation framework. Performance metrics and monitoring recommendations will help the city track progress, evaluate outcomes and advance its long-term energy priorities.
