Measure B – Part Duex

Our guests this morning are Eric Pendergraft of AES and Redondo Beach Mayor Steve Aspel.

Steve Aspel is currently serving as the 29th Mayor of the City of Redondo Beach, having won the 

election in May 2013.

Steve began his public service career in 1998 as a Planning Commissioner. In 2005, he was elected to the 

Redondo Beach City Council representing District 1 for a 4 year term. He was successfully re-elected in 

2009 for another 4 years.

Eric Pendergraft is currently responsible for AES's business development activities in California, which 

include plans to modernize several existing natural-gas fired generating plants, and the development of 

the world’s largest battery storage system.  These new development projects will be built at the 

Company’s existing power plant sites in Los Angeles and Orange County.  

Eric is also leading the effort to transform the Redondo Beach waterfront by giving the voters the 

opportunity to phase out the existing AES power plant and eliminate all future industrial uses on the 

property forever. Measure B would rezone the 50-acres of land where the AES power plant now 

operates, changing it from “industrial” to “residential" and “mixed-use” and allowing the development 

of an attractive harbor-side village.

Eric joined the company in 1998 when AES purchased three power plants in the greater Los Angeles 

areas from Southern California Edison, where he previously worked.
