The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Board of Commission on September 10 voted to approve power purchase agreements for the Eland Solar and Storage Center, the largest solar and battery energy storage system in the US. The agreements are now subject to Los Angeles City Council approval.
Many of the solar projects supplying Los Angeles, for instance, are located on former alfalfa fields. It’s a tricky balance, because sometimes the lowest-conflict lands make the most financial sense. A solar farm not far from Eland, for instance, recently stirred controversy when the developer began razing Joshua trees.
Los Angeles also relies on wind power from New Mexico, Utah and the Pacific Northwest; 24/7 clean energy from geothermal plants in Nevada and Imperial County; and hydropower from Hoover Dam and the Owens Valley.
Never a city to dream small, Los Angeles is targeting 98% climate-friendly electricity by decade’s end and 100% by 2035. Last year, the city had already reached 57% clean energy. With Eland, DWP is projecting 64% next year. “This is our largest solar and battery project,” Quiñones said.
The L.A. Department of Water and Power is buying energy from so many solar farms in this area, in fact, that my traveling companions — including DWP’s chief executive, Janisse Quiñones — had trouble figuring out which one they were here to show me.
Janisse Quiñones, chief executive of the L.A. Department of Water and Power, tours the Eland solar and storage project on Nov. 25. Soon the helicopter landed at California City’s tiny, run-down airport, where a rusty fuel tank reads: “Building for the future... Today!” In a strange way, it’s true.
