On February 26, 2019, the Fitchburg City Council approved Resolution R-26-19, the City of Fitchburg Resolution to Address Global Climate Change Through Clean Energy. Expanding on the city's 2008 commitment to achieve 25% renewable sourcing for municipal energy needs by 2025 (a commitment inspired by the State of Wisconsin's 25x25 Energy Independent Community Pledge), this clean energy resolution outlined a series of sustainability and clean-energy pledges, most notably setting a goal of meeting 100% of city electricity needs through renewable sources by 2030.
