5.         AB2514 ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM PROCUREMENT TARGETS AND POLICIES
Recommendation:
(1)       Find that the proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in Section 21065 of CEQA and Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines and, as such, no environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required for the project;
(2)       Find that it is not appropriate at this time to establish procurement targets for energy storage systems to be procured by Pasadena Water and Power (“PWP”) due to lack of cost-effective viable options; and
(3)       Direct PWP staff to continue to look for appropriate opportunities to encourage the cost-effective deployment of viable energy storage systems, and to make new recommendations to the City Council regarding cost-effective and viable energy storage system procurement targets and policies, if any, at least once every three years.
