Southern California planning new energy system, with San Onofre closed

Post-nuclear power grid takes shape UT San Diego, By Morgan Lee SEPT. 4, 2013 Responding to the retirement of the San Onofre nuclear plant, energy authorities are closing in on California’s solution for ensuring power supplies to San Diego and the Los Angeles Basin, outlining a plan that will come under scrutiny Monday in Sacramento.

Under a 10-page draft plan, state regulators and Southern California utilities are weighing measures that might revive generators at the San Onofre site to ensure adequate electricity imports……..

State officials also see San Onofe’s retirement as “a unique opportunity to reduce reliance on conventional resources” such as natural gas. They are considering rule changes to accelerate efforts to increase energy efficiency, conservation and storage, and the development of renewable power sources like wind and solar, though few details are discussed in the draft plan. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/sep/04/grid-without-nuclear-power/
