$27 million transmission line to add reliability and
capacity for 60,000 more customers on the power system
serving the growing cities of Napa and Sonoma. Another
is a $15 million investment to substantially boost power
capacity to our customers in Butte, Yuba, and Sutter
counties in rural northern California.
We are also investing in our power generation
assets. This year our Diablo Canyon
nuclear plant is moving ahead with
replacement of its massive steam genera-
tors. The $700 million project will ensure
the plant is capable of continuing to
provide emissions-free power for over two
million California homes.
PG&E’s work in this area doesn’t end
with the capital investments. Our teams
are needed to keep these systems running safely and
reliably 24/7. Their commitment to operational excel-
lence is centered today in maintaining our system with
an ever-increasing focus on better training and
improving the quality of our work, designing our systems
to be stronger and more fl exible, restoring service more
quickly when nature strikes or equipment breaks down,
and connecting new homes and businesses to the grid
more quickly.
PG&E’s 160,000 miles of
power lines and 46,000 miles
of gas pipelines deliver energy
to 15 million Californians over
70,000 square miles. PG&E
is investing $13.5 billion
in its system from 2008
through 2011.
