Pasadena Water and Power to Hold Public Meeting on Carbon-Free Energy Plan

Pasadena Water and Power will host its first virtual public meeting on Thursday, Sept. 26, to discuss the city’s plan for achieving carbon-free electricity by 2030. The meeting, scheduled from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., aims to engage community members in the development of a comprehensive Optimized Strategic Plan.

The Optimized Strategic Plan (OSP) will serve as a roadmap for PWP’s transition to 100% carbon-free energy sources while maintaining reliability and minimizing cost impacts on customers. Residents can attend the virtual meeting by visiting PWPweb.com/OSP or calling (669) 444-9171 with the webinar ID 878 4401 2192.

PWP is collaborating with Energy and Environmental Economics, Inc., a recognized leader in clean energy policy implementation, to develop the strategic plan. The OSP will consider new generation resources, infrastructure investments, and customer programs to facilitate the transition to carbon-free electricity.

Meeting recordings and other information will be posted to PWPweb.com/OSP as the process continues. 

Last month, PWP launched an online Clean Energy Tracker at PWPweb.com/CleanEnergyTracker, allowing residents to monitor key clean energy targets and milestones as the city progresses towards its 2030 goal.

A community-owned utility, PWP provides electricity to more than 65,000 customers and water to nearly 38,000 households and businesses in Pasadena and adjacent communities in the San Gabriel Valley. As a nonprofit public service, PWP operates for the benefit of its customers and the community.
