Will Pasadena have reasonable energy costs and be kind to Mother Nature too?
That’s exactly what the Pasadena Water and Power Department (PWP) is exploring at a free movie-themed community event this Saturday.
Guests are invited to sit in an air-conditioned theater to be among the first to see PWP’s new “Energy Roadmap” videos, a series of short films detailing the City’s efforts to provide reliable, environmentally responsible power at competitive rates for the next two decades.
08/30/2014
10:30 am – 11:30 am
Location
Laemmle’s Playhouse 7 Theatres
Guests will receive:
- Free popcorn
- Free soda
- An energy-saving LED light
- Plus other fun giveaways.
The videos explain why Pasadena needs an IRP, where the City’s energy comes from and how it is delivered to customers. It explains the pros and cons of conventional and renewable energy; how Pasadena sets its energy-use goals and how customers can help by adopting energy-efficiency measures and taking advantage of PWP-offered rebates.
Between each video, PWP will discuss the IRP in more detail. Energy experts will be on-hand to answer questions, gather input and direct customers to energy-saving resources.
Seating is limited. Reservations are required. Customers can reserve a seat here or by calling (626) 744-7311.
The video series is designed to engage customers to help PWP update the City’s 20-year Power Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), a document crafted in 2009 and revised in 2012 to lay out the City’s future power supply mix. A Stakeholder Technical Advisory Group has been appointed and consultants Black and Veatch have been selected to guide the comprehensive update. The video screenings mark the start of a citywide outreach effort.
