Overview
- The agreement commits PG&E to deliver infrastructure upgrades on 10 priority projects in Edenvale, North San Jose and downtown, totaling 880 MW of new capacity for large energy users.
- These improvements are engineered to support nearly 2,000 MW of demand, targeting long-standing reliability issues that have stalled major developments.
- The pact enforces binding performance targets with a six-month cure window, after which San Jose may terminate the agreement and explore creating its own utility.
- PG&E will fund six roles within San Jose’s public works and economic development departments to streamline planning and remove barriers to quicker power delivery.
- LS Power has begun building two high-voltage transmission lines to bolster regional reliability, and PG&E has initiated substation upgrades downtown alongside a $2.6 billion South Bay investment plan through 2035.
