Full Description

On January 30, 2023, the Pasadena City Council adopted Resolution 9977, establishing a goal for Pasadena Water and Power ("PWP") to source 100% of Pasadena's electricity from carbon-free resources by the end of 2030, while optimizing affordability, rate equity, system stability, and reliability. In furtherance of that goal, on December 15, 2025, the City Council unanimously approved PWP's Optimized Strategic Plan ("OSP"), a forward-thinking framework outlining the pathways, investments, and decision points that will position Pasadena to achieve a carbon-free future. A key component of the OSP is the expansion of locally sited renewable generation and energy storage resources within Pasadena. This approach is intended to reduce long-term costs, maximize the use of public assets, and equitably distribute the benefits of carbon-free energy across all customer classes. Locally developed solar resources also reduce reliance on external energy markets and enhance grid resilience by generating electricity closer to where it is consumed. To support implementation of the OSP, PWP has coordinated with City departments to identify City-owned properties that may be suitable for future solar and energy storage development. This RFP is limited to Category 1 priority sites that are more advanced in project development and better positioned to support near-term implementation. These sites are intended to support completion by June 2028. The City reserves the right to award one contract, multiple contracts, by individual site, by combination of sites, or in whole, depending on the proposals received and the City's evaluation of project delivery, cost, schedule, and overall fit for the program, in its sole discretion.
