The City of Los Angeles announced on Sept. 27 that it will invest $30 million to help achieve its goal of 100 percent renewable energy by the year 2035. The funds will go toward a program that will create solar energy and storage options in city-owned buildings across Los Angeles.
This year’s city budget allotted the $30 million for the program, called LA100, and is currently pending in the council’s Energy, Climate Change, Environmental Justice, and River Committee; Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell, who chairs the committee, also co-authored the motion. O’Farrell, along with Councilmember Paul Krekorian and Mayor Eric Garcetti, hosted a press conference about the initiative on Sept. 27.
