The Electricity Resource Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors and signed by Mayor Willie Brown in December, 2002 as a policy guide to be used in proposing and implementing specific actions. It provides a long-term vision of the City’s possible electricity future through 2012. As circumstances change over this period, the plan may be revised accordingly.  The accompanying Energy Resource Investment Strategy describes various scenarios by which the plan may be implemented.

The SFPUC already is implementing projects to meet the Plan's goals.  This requires the cooperation of many organizations, including the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Independent System Operator, the California Energy Commission, the California Power Authority, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, independent power developers, energy service companies and other departments and agencies of the City and County of San Francisco.

The Energy Resource Investment Strategy outlines a suite of energy resource portfolios combining existing and future energy resources to meet San Francisco’s needs for adequate, reliable, cost-effective and clean electricity supplies.  The ERIS evaluates several combinations of resource options in detail.  It analyzes their economic and environmental implications for San Francisco and presents a set of recommendations.
