• The benefits of operating Diablo Canyon for another 20 years
• The latest news and announcements

Nuclear power plants like Diablo Canyon emit virtually no greenhouse gasses during the production of electricity.

• Diablo Canyon is located on one of the most scenic and habitat-rich coastlines in the country. It is surrounded by roughly 12,000 acres of land that is managed by PG&E and largely maintained in a natural state as a home to many species of plant and animal wildlife that thrive on land, as well as in the ocean and intertidal zones. PG&E’s responsible stewardship of this precious natural resource allows for scientists and others to explore its habitat and ecology.
• Power produced at Diablo Canyon adds to the region’s energy diversity, reducing dependence on a single source of electricity.

At PG&E, we pride ourselves in doing more than just a job – we strive to provide the best service to our customers and remain good neighbors to the communities in which we work and live. Diablo Canyon is no exception.
