Regulators to Probe Rising CostsFor Silicon Valley Wires Upgrades
LCG, Aug. 24, 2001--The California Public Utilities Commission voted yesterday to hold hearing into the soaring costs that threaten plans by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to make much-needed improvements to power transmission facilities serving Silicon Valley.Sarah Thomas, a CPUC administrative law judge, warned earlier this month that the rising costs would delay PG&E's project. She said existing facilities "will be insufficient to meet demand as early as summer 2002, and it will take PG&E some time to build the project."Silicon Valley, the heart of the U.S. high-tech industry, is a 40-mile stretch of the San Francisco Peninsula, beginning at Palo Alto in the north and extending just beyond San Jose in the south. PG&E has planned improvements which would include a new 7.3 mile, 230 kilovolt transmission line, a new switching station and some other upgrades.But the company says that a change in the route from its recommendation and a new requirement that the line be underground, with cable that must be ordered from France, have more than doubled the cost of the project to $182 million, a big hit for a utility that finds itself in bankruptcy court.PG&E faces a similar transmission upgrade in the Tri-Valley area, a region on the east side of the Oakland Hills that has several fast-growing suburbs and a high-tech industry that spilled over from Silicon Valley.
