San Diego Gas & Electric should concentrate on in-area strategies for producing clean energy, such as a rooftop solar program, according to a report by the city attorney's office. SDGE derives just 6 percent of its electricity from renewables, versus 12 percent for Pacific Gas & Electric and 16 percent for Southern California Edison. The state's major utilities are mandated to derive 20 percent of their energy from clean, renewable sources by the end of 2010. SDGE says it won't make it. Worse, it is relying on its controversial Sunrise Powerlink, a 150-mile transmission line from Poway to Imperial County, to meet its requirement, according to the report. Experts have objections to Sunrise. City Attorney Mike Aguirre says he is prepared for his office to go to court to get compliance from SDGE.
