Subject: FEBRUARY 24th AGENDA: Items 2.7 & 3.4 - LS Power Electrical Transmission Project [External Email. Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources. Learn more] Good afternoon, Mayor and City Council:
First, an UPDATE: Last week, the California Public Utility Commission unanimously certified the EIR and approved the overall projects for this electrical transmission upgrade into San Jose and Silicon Valley.
The CPUC approval includes the collocation of LS Power's Coyote Valley terminal adjacent to PG&E's Metcalf substation.
With City Council's approval on Tuesday, all of the LS Power Grid California electrical transmission upgrade projects can begin construction this Spring 2026. https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADUxOWI4ZjE3LTRkNDEtNGUzMS04MjAwLTlzNzdiYTdkMjc5NAAQA.. 1/2 3/23/26, 4:53 PM Inbox - Agendadesk - Outlook
Item 2.7 is an easement to construct electrical lines through the Water Pollution Control Plant lands.
Item 3.4 is a franchise agreement to allow LS Power to construct, operate, and maintain electrical lines in the City's rights-of-way, mostly underground below roadways.
The southern project from Coyote Valley to Downtown San Jose will bring 1,000 megawatts of new power to central San Jose. The northern project will bring another 1,000 megawatts from Fremont to the Levi's stadium area. This additional power source is needed today to ensure reliability in the electrical system. And, this additional power will facilitate the electrification of buildings and transportation around the City - a key climate change policy goal. This power will also support planned data center development.
If you have any last minute questions, please email or call.
Thanks so much for your consideration.
