Power the South Bay Project

Power the South Bay Project

The Project would include the construction and operation of a new 230-kilovolt (kV) alternating current (AC) transmission line which would connect the existing Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) Newark 230 kV Substation to the existing Silicon Valley Power (SVP) Northern Receiving Station (NRS) 230 kV Substation. The new 230 kV AC transmission line would be approximately 12 miles in length and would be a combination of both overhead and underground lines. The Project would also include modifications to the existing PG&E Newark 230 kV Substation and the existing SVP NRS 230 kV Substation to interconnect LSPGC’s new 230 kV AC transmission line. These substation modifications would be constructed by PG&E and SVP, respectively, and each entity would continue to operate its own substation and equipment. The Project would be located in the cities of Fremont, Milpitas, San José, and Santa Clara within the counties of Alameda and Santa Clara.
