Senate Bill 350 (de León, Chapter 547, Statutes of 2015), (Public Utilities Code section 9621) requires the California Energy Commission to review the integrated resource plans of identified publicly owned utilities to ensure they meet various requirements specified in the law, including greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and renewable energy procurement requirements.
Integrated resource plans are long-term planning documents that outline how publicly owned utilities will meet demand reliably and cost effectively, while achieving state policy goals and mandates. Pasadena Water and Power submitted its 2018 Power Integrated Resource Plan and supplemental information, which the City of Pasadena adopted on December 10, 2018, to the Energy Commission for review on December 20, 2018. This staff paper presents the results of the Energy Commission staff review of the Pasadena Water and Power’s integrated resource plan.
