Title

Power Santa Clara Valley Project

Description

The Power Santa Clara Valley Project would construct two new high-voltage direct current (HVDC) terminals, the proposed Skyline and Grove HVDC Terminals, and three new transmission lines connecting the proposed HVDC terminals. The new transmission lines would include: (1) an approximately 13-mile underground transmission line connecting the proposed Grove HVDC Terminal to the proposed Skyline HVDC Terminal called the “Grove to Skyline 320-kilovolt (kV) Direct Current Transmission Line”; (2) an approximately 1.2-mile underground transmission line connecting the proposed Grove HVDC Terminal to the existing PG&E Metcalf Substation called the “Metcalf to Grove 500 kV Alternating Current (AC) Transmission Line”; and (3) an approximately 100-foot overhead transmission tie line connecting the proposed Skyline HVDC Terminal to the existing PG&E San Jose B Substation called the “Skyline to San Jose B 230 kV AC Transmission Tie Line”. In addition, the Project would also include road and trail improvements and utility relocations. Road and trail improvements would include a new road alignment along Coyote Ranch Road, a new turnaround at the entrance of Coyote Ranch, and the realignment of the Coyote Creek Trail realigned out of the Coyote Creek riparian area on Santa Clara County Parks land. The Project also includes modifications to the existing PG&E Metcalf Substation and the expansion and modification of the existing PG&E San Jose B Substation.
