Pasadena Water and Power to Source Carbon-Free Electricity
The City of Pasadena’s community-owned utility Pasadena Water and Power in California signed an agreement to develop an Optimized Strategic Plan for sourcing carbon-free electricity.
The utility signed an agreement with the Willdan Group, Inc.and Energy + Environmental Economics (E3), Willdan’s wholly owned subsidiary.
The City set a goal to obtain 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2030. E3 will work closely with Pasadena Water and Power and the City to explore a wide range of options, including distributed energy resources, renewables, storage and emerging technologies. These options will be incorporated into a cohesive plan that balances Pasadena’s carbon goals with reliability and cost-effectiveness.
“The City of Pasadena’s goal is one of the most ambitious clean energy targets in the state,” said David Reyes, Acting General Manager of Pasadena Water and Power, in a statement. “As we approach 2030, the urgency of this planning effort is very real for us. E3’s services will help us navigate a path to a carbon-free future that is affordable, equitable, and reliable for our community.”
