Pasadena Water and Power Launches Clean Energy Tracker

The Pasadena Water and Power ("PWP") Clean Energy Tracker, which provides information on key clean energy targets and milestones, is now available online at PWPweb.com/CleanEnergyTracker.

The launch of the tracker further demonstrates PWP's commitment to the successful implementation of Resolution 9977, which was approved by the Pasadena City Council on January 30, 2023, and sets a goal to source 100% of Pasadena's electricity from carbon-free sources by the end of 2030 while optimizing for affordability, rate equity, stability, and reliability. The resolution has since been incorporated into PWP's 2023 Power Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), accelerates California's clean energy targets by 15 years, and demonstrates an ambitious approach to achieving Pasadena's carbon-free future.[Link]

"PWP is committed to reaching ambitious carbon-free energy goals while continuing to provide reliable power at competitive rates," says Interim General Manager David Reyes.

As a community-owned utility, PWP is dedicated to advancing transparency, and ensuring information is readily available in an accessible format.

The tracker provides progress updates on clean energy targets and goals that will help achieve Pasadena's carbon-free future. Specific metrics provided in the initial launch focus on requirements of Senate Bill 100, Resolution 9977, community adoption of distributed energy resources and electric vehicles, and energy efficiency savings.

The tracker will be enhanced in phases with the goal of providing informative updates that are relevant, transparent, and easy to interpret. The public is invited to provide feedback by emailing [email protected], or by calling (626) 744-4005.
