Minimizing Environmental Impacts Working closely with the community and environmental experts
• We are committed to identifying routes with the least overall impacts.
• Environmental and engineering experts will conduct extensive research and field reviews.
• Public input will be collected through stakeholder briefings, meetings and community open houses.
• Project will undergo formal environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), providing additional opportunities for public input.

Constructing new 230 kV high-capacity transmission lines to connect: • PG&E’s existing Lockeford Substation,
which is east of Lodi; • PG&E’s existing 8 Mile Substation,
which is just north of Stockton; and • Lodi Electric Utility’s existing Industrial
Substation, which is in eastern Lodi.
Upgrading and potentially expanding: • PG&E’s existing Lockeford Substation; • PG&E’s existing 8 Mile Substation; and • Lodi Electric Utility’s existing
Industrial Substation.

Providing Reliable Energy Increasing electric reliability for northern San Joaquin communities
• Increases the capacity of the local electric grid, ensuring PG&E continues to stay in front of the area’s growing energy demands.
• Increases efficiencies when dealing with service interruptions, benefiting residents, businesses and growers across the region.
• Addresses a need for a new transmission source to avoid potential voltage and thermal overload concerns in the area identified by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which manages the state’s electric grid.

Supporting Economic Growth Investing in local electric infrastructure
• Helps provide a highly reliable and stable electricity source that meets the needs of the area’s leading manufacturing and industrial firms.
• Strengthens the grid to respond to growing energy demands from the region’s evolving economy and the thriving wine industry.
• Promotes a strong commercial environment that attracts and retains a diverse group of employers and industries.

Supporting Clean Energy Goals Helping deliver electricity generated from renewable energy sources
• PG&E is aggressively adding more renewable energy to our power mix under California’s renewable portfolio standard, and we are well on our way toward 50 percent renewables by the end of 2030. Currently, more than 50 percent of the electric power supplied to PG&E customers comes from carbon-free sources.
• We deliver some of the nation’s cleanest energy to our customers, and more than half of our electric power comes from renewable sources.
• Investments in the grid are important as we continue to explore new sources of renewable technology and actively expand our renewable energy supplies to support our commitment to meeting California’s renewable energy goals.

Map to be developed
• Identify large geographic area where project could reasonably be located.
• Introduce the project, educate community about the process and listen to what matters to them before developing potential routes.
• Conduct outreach and field reviews to determine opportunities and constraints.
• Refine the project study area and determine potential routes for the public to provide feedback.
• Hold public workshops and open houses to engage the local community.
• Continue gathering community input.
• Refine options for routes based on community feedback.
• Continue community engagement leading up to regulatory submittal.

Routing Criteria Reducing impacts to the environment and local community
• We will work closely with the local community, government agencies and organizations to gather stakeholder input to help identify potential corridors and routes that minimize potential impacts.
• The California Public Utilities Commission, which has sole jurisdiction over the siting of transmission lines, will decide the final route following a robust review process that provides numerous additional opportunities for public input.
Established land uses;
Agricultural uses and crops, such as vineyards and orchards;
Length of the electric transmission line to improve reliability;
Biological, cultural and visual resources;
Constructability and engineering issues; and
Costs to customers.
Potential routes take into consideration:
