South Bay Power Plant Demolished
Decades of activism lead to implosion, February 2
 On February 2, the Port of San Diego demolished the South Bay Power Plant to make way for the new Chula Vista Bayfront.
The removal of the South Bay Power Plant is an environmental justice victory that is the final step in ending the air and water pollution from the plant that impacted our communities and the Bay. It also marks the end to one power plant in San Diego that inefficiently used non-renewable fossil fuels to produce energy.
Congratulations again to our community members who fought for decades for this victory. In the near future, we look forward to enjoying with you prosperity, parks and open space on the San Diego Bay.

Award-Winning Affordable Housing Project Hits State Agency Roadblocks

Demolici�n de Central El�ctrica de South Bay
2 de febrero, implosi�n despu�s de d�cadas de activismo
El 2 de febrero, el Puerto de San Diego demoli� la Central El�ctrica de South Bay para abrir espacio para el nuevo Chula Vista Bayfront.
La eliminaci�n de la Central El�ctrica de South Bay es una victoria de justicia ambiental y el �ltimo paso para ponerle fin a la contaminaci�n atmosf�rica y del agua que esta planta generaba impactando a nuestras comunidades y a la bah�a. Esto tambi�n es el fin de una central el�ctrica en San Diego que generaba energ�a de manera ineficiente usando combustible f�sil no renovable.
Felicitaciones a nuestros miembros de la comunidad porque por d�cadas lucharon para lograr esta victoria. Esperamos muy pronto disfrutar con Ustedes la prosperidad, parques y espacio abierto de la Bah�a de San Diego.
