South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) is seeking approval for its Solar Power Project, a new 1,339 kW DC ground-mount accessory photovoltaic power system proposed for use by the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The fenced 3.31-acre project area is about 450 feet east of the current WWTP and would offset approximately 32 percent of the current energy demand.
The Board will also vote on the 2024 Lake Tahoe Active Transportation Plan to improve walking, biking, and other non-motorized transportation options.
