Grand Challenge Overview

The ability for San Diego to produce energy from renewable sources is a local and regional issue that implicates a need for change within the utility power infrastructure.  The current state of economic turmoil combined with our nation’s deepening dependence on foreign oil has presented us with an opportunity to pursue local policy development and infrastructure changes that secure our region’s access to clean energy that is locally produced. This in turn would create jobs and countywide revenue while supporting a sustainable approach to future regional energy planning.
