If you have any questions please message me or call at 530-346-7600. Thank you. Best regards, Barney TDPUD Public Comment August 4, 2021 Barney Dewey Hello, I believe that a micro -grid is important to the Town of Truckee during projected PSOM power outage events. I again ask the TDPUD Board to make the creation of a micro -grids for the Donner Pass Road corridor from downtown Truckee, past the hospital district, down Donner Pass Road to the I-80 intersection. There appears to be some resistance from TDPUD to operate temporary rented diesel generators as a solution for a micro -grid because of potential noise and pollution issues. However, TDPUD has, and is actively, installing large diesel generators at most of TDPUD's water pump stations. I believe there is some hypocrisy in TDPUD supporting the district's need for diesel power for their internal water pumping activity and not embracing the same technology to provide a micro -grid solution for key businesses and our medical district. I, again, ask the TDPUD Board to make the establishment of a micro -grid as one the district's highest priority projects. I believe this is so important to the community that I request the micro -grid project be on all future Board agendas so that the Board and staff can discuss this critical issue with each other and the public. Thank you.
