Dear MSC Members,
I am so glad to see the new 50 MW solar contract on the agenda. Please authorize this expenditure and also ask the City Council to direct staff to develop a plan to cover every City building and parking structure with solar and storage and bidirectional charging by 2030. This could become a positive carbon free revenue stream for the City once installed and the bidirectional charging could help the City avert brown-outs and outages and assist with incident response and disaster recovery.

I would also like to see the electric rate study be based on an optimized use of renewables so that we focus more on local green distributed generation and storage and less on energy delivered via transmission lines. Here's a summary of the demand in 2022. The top sector is residential and the others include commercial buildings, ag and industry. We should be incentivizing every sector to install solar and storage and reduce consumption. We could potentially reduce demand by 20% just with an awareness and action on phantom load.

Dear David & Kelly,
Thank you for securing another carbon-free power contract for Pasadena: the Grace Project. I'll be at the MSC meeting tomorrow with Pasadena 100 to support your approval request.

I also really appreciate the great progress PWP has made toward our 100% carbon-free goal lately, largely due to your efforts.

I'm confident PWP can overcome remaining challenges to secure clean power and become a model for others.

Best,
