Councilmember Madison to Hold Town Hall on Renewable Energy

[Updated] Vice Mayor Steve Madison will hold an in-person town hall on May 8 on renewable energy technology.

The event will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at San Rafael Elementary School.

The event will feature a keynote address and a panel of experts from California Institute of Technology and Sandia National Laboratories.

The event will feature a discussion on renewable energy technology needed to achieve the City’s mandate to source 100% carbon-free electricity by 2030.

“The City Council hereby sets a policy goal to source 100% of
Pasadena’s electricity from carbon free sources by the end of 2030,” Section 3 of the approved resolution states.

In March 2018, the City adopted a Climate Action Plan based on the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 that focuses on five specific GHG reduction strategies: Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Sustainable Mobility and Land Use, Solid Waste Reduction, Water Conservation and Urban Greening.
