San Francisco takeover of PG&E grid, EIR commentary period extended

Commentary on the Draft EIR for the takeover of PG&E’s electric grid in San Francisco by the City of San Francisco has been extended to May 19th @ 5:00pm.

Background

The City and County of San Francisco is proposing to purchase Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)-owned electrical transmission and distribution assets in San Francisco and San Mateo County that are needed to provide electricity service to customers within the city. After the City completes its acquisition of the Assets, the City would own, operate, and maintain the electricity grid in San Francisco, most of which is currently owned by PG&E. This project does not include the purchase of PG&E’s natural gas facilities; thus, PG&E would continue providing natural gas
services to customers in San Francisco.
