BACKGROUND
As part of the Santa Clarita 2025 Strategic Plan, the City of Santa Clarita (City) identified a goal of completing energy efficiency upgrades to City facilities. As a result, the Citywide Energy Efficiency Project was approved by the City Council on September 27, 2022, which includes various energy efficiency upgrades throughout City facilities that will save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and help meet growing energy demand.
The project also includes the installation of solar canopies in the parking lot of City Hall. In order to connect the solar panels to electrical equipment in City Hall, the City must accept an easement from Southern California Edison (SCE) that currently conflicts with the location of the electrical infrastructure required by this project.
The City has formally requested the transfer of easement from SCE on City property, as described in the attachment. Staff recommends the acceptance of an easement from SCE.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other actions determined by the City Council.
