The coastal gas-fired power generators were supposed to shut down this year. Now they can run through 2026.
Those factors led to Tuesday’s vote extending the life of the three gas plants — and, previously, to state officials signing contracts with the owners of the controversial gas generators that could ultimately cost taxpayers as much as $1.2 billion.Climate activists and local residents are furious.
He also said the plant’s lung-damaging nitrogen oxide emissions represent “a small fraction” of local air pollution.Even as clean energy advocates aired their concerns to Newsom’s appointees on the water board, they were looking ahead to a related vote planned by another state agency — this one dealing with the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage field.
State Sen. Henry Stern , whose district includes Porter Ranch, called the proposal “an unwelcome surprise.” He said it’s hard to believe that allowing SoCalGas to store more fuel at Aliso would result in lower energy prices. Issam Najm, former president of the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council, described the settlement as “a joke.”Asked about the settlement, Gilbride said the gas company is “pleased to resolve this important matter after almost eight years.”
