Council sets data requests and 'crunch time' timeline ahead of March decision
Summary
Members asked staff for specific follow-up materials — five-year day‑ahead market history, site cost and transmission upgrade estimates, battery cost-per-megawatt runs — and confirmed the group expects a decision by the end of March.
As the discussion closed, councilors and staff listed specific information needed to inform the upcoming GRDA decision. Staff will compile day-ahead market historical data, detailed cost estimates for candidate solar sites (including land acquisition and transmission upgrades), and battery capital and replacement-cost runs that show per‑megawatt pricing inclusive of storage. Glenn told the body staff will provide the PowerPoint materials and the spreadsheet with editable assumptions so members can test scenarios.
Chair closed the work session after confirming no further questions; the GRDA contract item will remain on future agendas through the end-of-March decision window. Councilors framed the next meetings as "crunch time," with two to three meetings before the staff-requested decision date.
