San Diego Gas & Electric to Construct New 500-KV Transmission Line
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) plans to construct a new 500-kV transmission line connecting San Diego County with neighboring Orange County, aiming to alleviate congestion and broaden access to energy resources in the region while meeting California's climate goals. The proposed infrastructure development is part of CAISO's 2022-2023 Transmission Plan, which identified several high-priority projects across the state, and is expected to be built at a cost shared among California customers, resulting in a financial burden of approximately 9% for SDG&E customers.
