Introduction
The goal of this measure is to facilitate a comprehensive transition to renewable energy sources in San Diego, with a particular focus on leveraging San Diego Community Power's 100% renewable electricity offering to drive the shift away from fossil fuels in the transportation sector. This involves increasing customer adoption of renewable energy and incentivizing local generation of renewable resources, such as solar, particularly in multifamily residences and building-scale installations. Additionally, the measure aims to create policies and incentive programs to encourage renewable energy generation in non-residential developments. Where possible, municipal facilities will play a role in this transition by serving as hubs for community solar and microgrid solutions, enhancing community resilience and promoting the widespread adoption of renewable energy technologies throughout the city.
