City Manager; Debbie Pollart, <br />Public Works Director; Cynthia Battenberg <br />Date: October 6, 2015 <br />Re: Smart San Leandro: Proposed Renewable Energy Mesh Grid Project <br />SUMMARY: <br />This report is for your information only. As this project progresses and the role of the City <br />is more defined, the City Council will be updated and direction requested. <br />Representatives of Olidata Smart Cities LLC, a U.S subsidiary of Italian -based Olidata <br />International Innovation Development S.r.l will present a program intended to create a <br />public/private partnership with the City of San Leandro and other key partners to develop <br />a renewable energy micro grid project ("Smart San Leandro"). The initial phase of this <br />project would be to use privately owned rooftops and parking lots in the industrial area to <br />create renewable energy through wind, solar and other developing technologies. Creation <br />of a City of San Leandro micro grid would reduce reliance on the external PG&E grid and <br />produce an impactful reduction of carbon emissions. <br />BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS <br />In 2009, the City of San Leandro adopted its Climate Action Plan: Vision of a Sustainable <br />San Leandro.
