Renewable Energy Roadmap progress
Summary
The city is at roughly 15% solar against its 80%-by-2035 goal, and losing the Covanta waste-energy contract cost about 20% of the renewable target. Staff is renegotiating power supply contracts in a tough market and plans to seek three power portfolios — cheapest, partial renewables, and aggressive renewables — when OUC and FMPA contracts expire.
