ITEM 7 (1403-08)
ENERGY PRESENTATION
PEAKER PLANT
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. At the March 1, 2001 Workshop, Council
directed staff to further investigate the process of siting a "peaker" power plant at the
City's Materials Handling Yard at 12325 Crosthwaite Circle. Deputy Public Works Director
Quillen provided a brief Power Point presentation. To proceed, a formal feasibility study
must be conducted by SDG&E to determine the actual upgrades that would need
construction. The cost for this could be up to $30,000. An appropriation of $30,000 would
be required to commence the process. Any funds expended would be non-refundable,
even if the site is not approved for a peaker plant for any reason. Additionally,
professional services would be necessary to assist staff in evaluating the findings of the
SDG&E feasibility study. If results were favorable, the next step would be to issue a
Request for Proposals to energy engineering and evaluation consultants to evaluate the
study findings and provide technical assistance to staff. An additional appropriation of
$70,000 would be required for the retention of an energy consultant. He then provided an
overview of what the City of Escondido has recently gone through in an attempt to
establish a peaker plant within their City.
Consensus of the Council was for staff to discontinue the evaluation of a peaker plant, but
to continue to monitor discussions of the Independent System Operator (ISO) with regard
to a potential backup generator program. Staff will also explore the possibility of
implementing a fluorescent light bulb exchange program during Community Days.
