About the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel
PG&E created the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel (DCDEP) in 2018 to foster open and frequent dialogue with the community on matters related to the DCPP deactivation. Panelists are community members from across San Luis Obispo County who represent diverse viewpoints. Visit the DCDEP’s independent website.
Mission and purpose
The Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel will review information and provide direct input on behalf of the local community to PG&E on Diablo Canyon Power Plant decommissioning plans and activities.
The Panel will help inform PG&E’s site-specific decommissioning plan on future land use and repurposing recommendations. The consideration of the plan will be the subject of an ongoing regulatory process that will begin with the filing of the Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding in December 2018 at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). PG&E plans, pending CPUC approval, to continue to engage with the panel and solicit input from the public on its plan during this multi-year review process.
The Panel's Strategic Vision is a stand-alone document that is available to the community, stakeholders and regulatory agencies to provide information about the decommissioning process and recommendations from the Panel that reflect the community’s wishes for what will occur before, during and after decommissioning. Read the Strategic Vision.
Background
In 2016, PG&E announced plans to close Diablo Canyon at the expiration of its Nuclear Regulatory Commission operating licenses in 2024-2025. PG&E will focus on continued safe and reliable operations at Diablo Canyon, while also preparing decommissioning plans that consider community input and meet regulatory requirements.
Meetings
Public meetings provide the opportunity to learn about the various aspects of the decommissioning process and allow the Panel and the public to provide input to PG&E. During meeting times, you may watch the live stream.
