Energy Production and Conservation
El Monte's electricity is provided by Southern California Edison, which obtains 16 percent of its energy from renewable sources and is the country's largest purchaser of renewable energy. In 2006, it signed an agreement for the largest wind energy contract by a U.S. utility, and in March 2008, it broke ground on the 50-square-mile wind farm, which is triple the size of any existing wind farm in the U.S. By 2010, the utility plans to receive up to 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources.
