Coal to Renewables: Let's
Accelerate the Transition |
Three years ago, the Pasadena City Council
rejected a proposal to extend for 17 more years beyond 2027 its contract to buy electricity
from Intermountain Power Plant, a huge 1,900-megawatt coal-fired plant in Utah that supplies
over 60% of the city's electricity.
IPP was constructed in 1986
by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, with participation by the cities of Anaheim,
Riverside, Pasadena, Glendale, and Burbank. Pasadena has a 6.6% interest in IPP and is obligated
under its 40-year contract to "take or pay" for electricity from the plant through 2027.

Welcome to New Members
|
If you are a new member, I would like to extend a warm
welcome to you on behalf of the Sierra Club's Pasadena Group, and invite your participation
in our Group activities.
We hold monthly meetings on the
first Wednesday of the month at the Eaton Canyon Nature Center, lead day hikes in the San
Gabriel Mountains and occasional weekend outings to other locations, and sponsor activities to
inform ourselves and the general public about local, regional, state, and national environmental
issues.
We hope to see you soon at one of our meetings, hikes, or other
activities. Please feel free to contact any of the group officers listed on our
Contacts page for additional information about our activities.
