Energy Rec - Solar for city operations

[Scott Peterson]

Hi Papia,

I am preparing a recommendation for the city of Mountain View to install solar PV to offset a substantial amount of city operations electrical consumption. I'm restricting the recommendation to city-operated buildings and parks.

I'd like to know if the city will be restricted to installing solar only on sites that use it, or if we can aggregate our total city electricity consumption, installing solar pv wherever we choose.

I've heard that there are regulations forthcoming (if not already in place) that allow for city operations to aggregate our usage for the purpose of installing solar pv wherever we choose.  Can you send me a reference to the relevant regulation(s) and whether they are in effect yet? If they are not yet in effect, can you estimate when they will be?

Thank you very much for any info. I intend to include it in our recommendation to the city.  Would you mind if I put you as a contact person on the recommendation as well?  If you'd like, I can also include you as a collaborator on the document that I'm writing on Google Docs so that you can read it and make recommendations.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the email. Steve and Bruce have contact several people at PG&E for information. Do you need specific info on solar pv options?

 

Let me know what you are looking for and I'll try to make the connections.

What specifically did you ask Charles and Mona, were they able to help?

Take care,
Papia
