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.
