Panel OKs Deal to Buy Wind Farm’s Energy
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A City Council environmental committee Tuesday unanimously approved buying energy from a Wyoming wind farm. The matter will soon head to the full council.
The 16-year contract is worth between $236 million and $280 million depending on how much energy is purchased.
The city is trying to expand its portfolio of clean energies. Most of Los Angeles’ power continues to come from coal-burning power plants that contribute to global warming.
