The Imperial Irrigation District is set to look at how it will build up its renewable energy portfolio.
Staff will update the Board of Directors on a draft renewable energy portfolio standard policy, including a detailed enforcement program and procurement plan, at the quarterly La Quinta meeting at 1 p.m. today. The procurement plan includes small hydro power, solar, biogas, geothermal and more.
The district is looking to increase its renewable energy levels to meet the upcoming state requirements. The state is requiring all California utilities to get 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources by 2013, and 33 percent by 2020.
The item is set for information, not action. The item will be brought back at a future board meeting for a vote.
