SAN FRANCISCO-City officials here want a planned 93-acre mixed-use redevelopment within the Hunter’s Point Naval Shipyard here to run exclusively on renewable solar and hydroelectric power provided by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The project calls for 1,600 residential units and 300,000 sf of commercial and retail space.

The city acquired the polluted former shipyard from the Navy and last year completed an estimated $350-million clean-up of the polluted property. The city awarded master development rights for the Shipyard in 1999 to Lennar Corp., and the power to decide the power source went with it. As a result, Lennar could decide to use power from Pacific Gas & Electric, which owns the distribution lines and until this spring had a power plant at the Shipyard.
