On July 16, 2010, the Gill Ranch Gas Storage 115 kV Load Interconnection Project
became operational. Located in Madera, California, PG&E constructed a 10-mile long
overhead tap line from the Dairyland-Mendota 115 kV circuit to the customer-owned
Gill Ranch Substation. Completion of this project enables the Gill Ranch customer to
obtain transmission service from PG&E’s electric grid.
On August 1, 2010, the Oakland Station C-X No. 3 115 kV Underground Cable Project was
energized for service. This project, located in Alameda County, installed a single
3.7 miles underground cable between Oakland C and Oakland X Substations. This
project increases the area transmission capacity, thereby ensures reliable
transmission service for electric customers in North Oakland area.
On August 27, 2010, PG&E took ownership of the Carberry Switching Substation that was
energized on June 22, 2010. Located in Shasta County near Burney, California, the
new 230 kV switching station was constructed to interconnect the Hatchet Ridge Wind
Farm with PG&E’s electric grid. The wind farm is owned by a third-party developer,
and it has a total output of approximately 100 MW. The new switching station is
equipped with protection, control, and communication equipment enabling the existing
230 kV Pit No. 3 to Round Mountain circuit to loop into the station for electric
power delivery.
On November 23, 2010, the TransBay Cable Project interconnected with PG&E’s electric
grid. This third-party-owned project installed a high-voltage direct-current cable
and associated onshore facilities into PG&E’s grid. The 53-mile submarine cable
improves electric transmission reliability to San Francisco by providing 400 MW of
electric power transfer capability from Pittsburg Substation in Contra Costa County,
to Potrero Substation in San Francisco County, California.
On December 1, 2010, the 7th Standard Substation located in Kern County was released
to Operations. New transmission and distribution facilities, including control and
protection equipment, were installed to provide additional capacity to reliably serve
electric customers in Northwest Bakersfield and the surrounding area in Kern County,
California.
On December 22, 2010, the PG&E-owned Colusa Generating Station interconnected to the
Delevan Switching Substation for commercial operation. Located near Maxwell in
