What is Burbank Water and Power’s current energy mix?
The numbers change from time to time due to economic conditions, new power contracts replacing old, and purchases from the spot market. In 2003, the Burbank City Council approved BWP’s recommendation for a Renewable Portfolio Standard. The Renewable Portfolio Standard, or RPS, is a document that formally states the utility’s goal to increase the level of electricity we procure from renewable resources to 20% of our total energy portfolio by the year 2017.
