The need for backup power systems is growing as power outages become more common with increased wildfires, public safety power shutoffs, and increased summer grid emergencies due to high heat. CPA’s Power Ready program is soliciting competitive proposals to enhance energy resiliency in Los Angeles and Ventura counties through the installation of 12 power backup systems in public facilities owned by CPA’s partner communities. The goal is to bring resiliency to critical community-use buildings through the installation of solar-plus-storage systems, ensuring there is a backup source of energy when there is a power outage.
