Document Description
The Approved Project consists of two new high-voltage direct current (HVDC) terminals, an approximately 11.8-mile underground transmission line connecting the new HVDC terminals, and an approximately 100-foot overhead transmission tie line to connect one of the new HVDC terminals to the existing PG&E San Jose B Substation. Since the Approved Project’s Grove HVDC Terminal site is directly adjacent to the PG&E Metcalf Substation modification area, the overhead Metcalf to Grove 500 kV transmission tie line from the LSPGC dead-end structure within the terminal site to a PG&E-owned dead-end structure inside the proposed PG&E Metcalf Substation modification area will only be approximately 200 feet long. Connection to the PG&E Metcalf and PG&E San Jose B substations will require PG&E to modify the existing PG&E Metcalf Substation and expand and upgrade the existing PG&E San Jose B Substation.
