Esteemed City Council Members,
My name is Rick Kitagawa, I am a resident and business owner in Pasadena district 2, and I urge you to require that the Integrated Resource Plan be submitted with a plan that will achieve 100% carbon free electricity by 2030. The current IRP draft is missing the urgency of shifting Pasadena's power to 100% carbon free electricity - getting to 55% in 2028 is too slow and we need solutions for challenges like the Goodrich bottleneck now.
I understand these are huge issues and complex problems, but we need you to be the leaders who can turn things around and be the change-makers that Pasadena, California, and the world needs.
Regards,
Rick Kitagawa

City Council Members, my name is Michael Robertson, I am a professional environmental scientist and resident of Pasadena District 4.1 urge you to require that the Integrated Resource Plan be submitted with a plan to actually reach 100% carbon free power by 2030.
The City Council unanimously voted to adopt 100% carbon free power by 2030. Nearby municipalities are already ahead of us. Let's show the world why Pasadena is a great place to live by competing and winning in the quest for carbon free power.
There is nothing stopping the City of Pasadena except Pasadena Water and Power that hasn't even come up with a realistic plan to reach the city mandates. I am disappointed to see that PWP is failing us by not making good on the city council's resolution with a plan that achieves the mission set forth in January's resolution. The whole world is watching and it is imperative that Pasadena make the right choices to ensure our power is responsibly sourced.
Please make honor the resolution passed by the city council and ensure Pasadena has clean power for all by 2030! Our future depends on it and we need to be on the right side of history at such a historic moment.
Thank you!

Dear Members of the MSC,
I am writing to encourage you to insist upon an IRP that clearly shows how PWP will get Pasadena to 100% clean energy by the end of 2030.
If necessary, demand that they file for an extension, to give PWP time to produce a viable plan that fulfills the City Council's resolution.
Thank you for your work on this important issue!
Sincerely
Jamie Scott

City council members
My name is Felix Breden and I live in District 6
I encourage you to pass a IRP that clearly states that 100% Carbon free energy by 2030 is the City Council's mandate.
I plead with you to include more careful support for community and individual solar, to include support for lower income households to help with any rate increases due to adoption of this plan.
Please provide detail in the Draft for getting from 55% in 2028 to 100% in 2030.
Pasadena has the chance to help save the world for our children, and be a recognized leader in promoting carbon-free energy, let's get this done!
thank you for your bravery

MSC comments and Questions - PWP - Power IRP - Dec. 5, 2023 meeting From: Rhoads Stephenson, Districts.
CiTY CIJ:RK
Suggestions to MSC: CITY OF PASADENA
1. I think you should approve this plan this afternoon. a. If necessary, amend it, but then approve the amended document and send it to the City Council.
Suggestions to PWP as they implement the updated IRP:
1. Please do not buy any non-renewable power from Utah IPP.
2. And don't get sucked into fossil fuels to make sure the Utah transmission lines are used. They are a sunk cost.
3. The City should provide incentives for rooftop solar?
4. The revised IRP should include Community Solar. If not, why not? a. Many people can't do rooftop solar.
b. This will also reduce constraints due to the Goodrich receiving station.
5. The Goodrich upgrade project completion goal should be moved up to 2029.
a. Otherwise, there is no way to meet the 2030 goal of 100% renewables.
b. If not moved up, this Plan in internally inconsistent.
6. You should consider adding another receiving station. a. It could be powered by LADWP
b. This would provide redundancy in sources in case of outages. c. You may have to subdivide the grid to allow two different sources to be drawing power simultaneously. Because of frequency and phase differences.
i. But you can provide an inter-connect so that either side can power the other side.
ii. Many neighboring water districts do this now. La Canada and La Crescents, for example.
Questions to the PWP:
1. What is status of CAP update?
2. What is being done to make sure the CAP and Power IRP are consistent.
3. When will this IRP be reviewed and approved by City Council?
4. Has PWP accounted for the electricity used by the city to pump water around the City? Water has a carbon footprint also.
5. How much storage (inside the City boundaries) is included? Battery, H2, compressed gas, or other?
6. How much will the Glenarm Plant be used?
7. How do you account for the Caltech emissions? Including C02, methane, and criteria pollutants
8. Who is including JPL emissions? Pasadena, La Canada, or no one?
9. When will CAISO be 100% renewable with no use of fossil fuels?

Dear City Council/Committee Members:
My name is Sonja Berndt. I am a longtime resident of Pasadena, District 4. I urge you to require that the Integrated Resource Plan be submitted with a plan that will achieve 100% carbon free electricity by 2030. Pasadena 100 has identified several problems with the current draft of the IRP. I urge you to adopt their recommendations and insist that the final draft of the IRP incorporate all of Pasadena 100's recommendations. Thank you.
Sonja Berndt
