Northern San Joaquin 230 kV Transmission Project

If approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the state agency with jurisdiction over the siting of this type of project, this project will include connecting PG&E’s existing Brighton-Bellota 230 kV Transmission Line into PG&E’s Lockeford Substation and building a new 230 kV double circuit transmission line from PG&E’s Lockeford Substation to a new 230 kV switching station on Thurman Street in Lodi.

If the project is approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which is the state agency that has jurisdiction over the siting and routing of the project, it will connect PG&E’s existing Brighton-Bellota 230 kV Transmission Line into PG&E’s Lockeford Substation and involve building a new 230 kV double circuit transmission line from PG&E’s Lockeford Substation to a new 230 kV switching station on Thurman Street in Lodi.  However, the CPUC could also decide to study and approve facilities and routes not considered by our team.

If the project is approved by the CPUC, we currently anticipate an in service date of 2026. The timeframe may change depending on how long the CPUC process takes.

We are currently in the process of conducting additional analysis for siting and routing, which will help us prepare our application for submittal to the CPUC. Once the application is filed with the CPUC, they will conduct an environmental analysis and will ultimately decide whether or not it should be built.
