¡Adelante Coachella!

On the record

Public-Private Partnership (P3)

After years of diligent consideration to best serve Coachella residents, in 2025 the City Council unanimously selected Stronghold Power Systems, Inc. to be the City's P3 partner. State law allows a P3 partner to finance, build and operate a utility eliminating the need for upfront City funding even as the City controls the utility.

Built on accountability

This public-private partnership was selected through a rigorous and transparent process:

  1. 01

    24-month competitive procurement

  2. 02

    Multiple qualified bidders for the public RFQ

  3. 03

    Unanimous City Council approval (5–0 vote)
