SDG&E Power Line Update
Friday, September, 25, 2020
We are saddened to report that the CPUC voted 5-0 in approval of SDG&E's project during yesterday's meeting.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the effort to get an EIR approved. Unfortunately, we did not get the result we had hoped for. However, we could not be more proud of our community coming together and working diligently to fight for something we so strongly believe in.
We do not currently know when construction will begin. You may check these links for more information as they are updated...
