We are drafting a Solar and Energy Storage Plan and will be hosting five community meetings to obtain direct input from residents and business owners.
In August 2022, the Glendale City Council passed a resolution expressing their intent to adopt policies and practices aimed at achieving the goal of having at least 10% of GWP customers adopt solar and energy storage systems by 2027, and develop additional demand management measures, with a minimum total peak dispatchable and peak-load-reducing capacity of 100 megawatts (MW). The goal of this solar and energy storage plan is to maximize the City of Glendale’s use of renewable energy to serve the current and future energy needs of Glendale residents and businesses.
We recognize that achieving this goal will not come without its challenges, which is why we are seeking input directly from residents to ensure that the Solar and Energy Storage Plan properly captures the interests and needs of the residents and business owners of Glendale.
In doing so, we will host a total of five community meetings:
-
Wednesday, February 28, 2024, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM @ Adult Recreation Center
-
Saturday, March 2, 2024, 10:00 AM -12:00 PM @ Sparr Heights Community Center
-
Monday, March 11, 2024, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM on Zoom (check the website listed below for the link)
-
Wednesday, May 15, 2024, 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM @ Adult Recreation Center
-
Thursday, May 30, 2024, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM @ Sparr Heights Community Center
We are eager to sit down with customers and listen to their thoughts, suggestions, and concerns as they move toward the creation and implementation of this plan.
