CEO presents San Diego Community Power’s draft strategic goals for 2026–2028; board to consider adoption in March
Summary
CEO Karen Burns presented draft three‑year strategic goals emphasizing fiscal sustainability, customer affordability, local capacity and people; the board received the file and staff will return with a final plan after CAC input and internal revisions.
San Diego Community Power Chief Executive Officer Karen Burns presented a draft set of strategic goals for the fiscal 2026–2028 planning period at the Feb. 27 board meeting, asking the board for feedback and setting a schedule to return with a final plan for approval on March 27.
Burns said the planning process began in September 2024 and that the agency’s mission, vision and values remain unchanged. The draft goals prioritize fiscal sustainability (including reaching at least 180 days cash on hand and a rate stabilization reserve), customer affordability and competitiveness, infrastructure and local capacity (a target to support 1 GW of clean energy capacity by 2035 with interim 75% by 2027 and 85% by 2030 renewable targets), and workforce and organizational development.
Specific program and procurement goals in the draft include executing multiple prepayment financing transactions (Burns said the agency aims to "execute at least 6 of these transactions over this period for annual savings of roughly 30,000,000"), pursuing a published credit rating by the end of 2027, supporting 150 MW of local distributed capacity and expanding the solar battery savings program and regional energy network (REN) programs.
Burns said the legislative and regulatory team will bring updates to the board in April and that staff will present the final strategic goals for board approval on March 27 after soliciting Community Advisory Committee input on March 13. Board members praised staff work and expressed support for the planning approach; the board received the presentation as a file for further action in March.
