San Diego recently voted to make a significant change in the way it makes power available to its residents.
The San Diego City Council approved a plan devised by Mayor Kevin Faulconer to create a regional entity with joint powers to purchase greener power. The formation of the entity and the creation of its board of directors will take place later this year, and the entire process is expected to take several years.
Once the board is in place, it would then hire its executives, including a chief financial officer and a chief executive officer, which would be responsible for guiding the entity through its initial implementation. After the setup is complete, the California Public Utilities Commission would have to approve it. The goal is to have the entity delivering power to residents as early as 2021.
The goal is to transition the City of San Diego to 100% renewal energy as soon as possible. The State of California has committed to reaching this goal by 2045. With the new system in place, San Diego would reach this goal a full 10 years earlier than the state. The city is the first major U.S. city to set a goal of reaching 100% renewal energy, a target it established in its 2015 Climate Action Plan. Brochure printers can provide pamphlets explaining the effects of measure like this to area residents.
