PG&E to Power 12 Major Projects in San Jose by 2030 Under New Agreement
PG&E is set to supply electricity to a dozen large projects in San Jose by 2030, supported by new transmission lines from LS Power. The city anticipates an abundance of power by 2028, facilitating growth in manufacturing and data centers. The agreement includes service guarantees for projects over 20 MW and funding for city development roles, exceeding $1.6 million in the first year. While PG&E aims to mitigate costs for ratepayers, concerns about environmental impacts from data centers persist.

PG&E will provide power to twelve major projects in San Jose by 2030, following an agreement established last year. San Jose expects to have ample power by 2028 with the completion of two new transmission lines by LS Power, which will add 2,000 MW.
The deal includes commitments from PG&E for projects over 20 MW and funding exceeding $1.6 million for city development positions. Two projects have already received power, including a data center adding 20 MW. Concerns about environmental impacts from data centers remain, despite the anticipated economic benefits.
