After 15-16 weeks of order and delivery time, they should be installed by fall.
The generators will be owned by the city and leased to the park. If at any time the park no longer needs them, if for example PG&E supplies backup power to the park, the city may relocate the generators, said City Manager Mike Kirn.
Park owners have agreed to provide $68,700 in capital funding and to operate and maintain the generators through a nominal increase in the parkâs private utility rates.
During previous PSPS events, PG&E has provided backup generators that power the city east of the Napa River. That scenario has left residents and businesses on the west side â including Rancho â without power during the outages.

Pandemics are connected in important ways to global warming. Both are invisible in themselves, but have destructive and deadly consequences. When they take hold, they are virtually unstoppable. And they are linked at the root.
Climate change helps to create the conditions for pandemics through deforestation, habitat destruction and food scarcity. Fortunately, though, just as in pandemics, informed and committed people â what Mr. Rogers would term the helpers â are stepping out of the crowd with the determination to find solutions to catastrophic global warming.
In 2020, Napa Climate NOW! honored some of these remarkable people with its Climate Champions award. Among the honorees were Katie Stilwell in the category of youth advocate, and Calistoga City Councilmember Gary Kraus, an exemplary elected representative.
