E3, a Willdan Company, to Create a Plan for Pasadena to Source Carbon-Free Electricity

Willdan Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WLDN) announced today that Energy + Environmental Economics (E3), Willdan’s wholly owned subsidiary, has been selected by the City of Pasadena’s community-owned utility Pasadena Water and Power to develop an Optimized Strategic Plan for sourcing carbon-free electricity. The City has set a goal to secure 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2030. E3 will work closely with Pasadena Water and Power and the City to explore a wide range of options, including distributed energy resources, renewables, storage, and emerging technologies. These options will be incorporated into a cohesive plan that balances Pasadena’s carbon goals with reliability and cost-effectiveness.

“The City of Pasadena’s goal is one of the most ambitious clean energy targets in the state,” said David Reyes, Acting General Manager of Pasadena Water and Power. “As we approach 2030, the urgency of this planning effort is very real for us. E3’s services will help us navigate a path to a carbon-free future that is affordable, equitable, and reliable for our community.”

“As more cities establish climate goals, E3’s expertise in developing climate action plans, and in understanding the options and implications for the power sector, is becoming more essential,” said Mike Bieber, Willdan’s CEO. “This opportunity reflects a natural transition in our work as clients move beyond long-term studies to take concrete, near-term steps toward decarbonization. Willdan thanks the City of Pasadena for this opportunity.”
