Details of the plan, including a cost estimate, will come up over the next 90 days. The framework of the plan calls for 380 megawatts of power to be generated from solar panels installed on residents' rooftops and through the SunShares Program, which would allow customers to purchase shares of a city solar power plant in exchange for credits on their energy bills. Another 500 megawatts of energy would come from utility-scale solar power projects that would feed into two transmission stations run by the city's Department of Water and Power.
