Installation of solar photovoltaic systems on city-owned property.

This bill would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, in coordination with other relevant agencies, to install 150 megawatts of solar photovoltaic systems on the roofs of city-owned buildings and other city-owned property by the end of 2035. The department would be required to complete at least 100 megawatts worth of installations by September 1, 2030. Installations would be prioritized in disadvantaged communities, and the department would be required to set criteria for increasing the number of eligible roofs that can host solar photovoltaic systems. Additionally, the department would be required to report: (1) factors considered when making determinations about the long-term ownership, operation and maintenance of such systems, (2) the expected location and size of each system to be installed, along with an indication of whether requests for proposals have been issued for all necessary contracts, (3) information pertaining to ineligible roofs, and (4) identifying information for all city-owned properties that have had such systems installed, including but not limited to the address, system size, annual energy savings, and annual emissions reduction.
