Electric Power Supply – Marin County
Transmission lines carry high-voltage
electricity over long distances, like the
freeways of the electric system. The
higher the voltage, the more power that
line is carrying.

We are working to reduce PSPS impacts by
installing additional temporary microgrids that
can utilize backup generation sources to keep
portions of communities energized.
In 2020, PG&E will have a portfolio of temporary
generation assets that will support some of these
microgrid locations across our service area.
Novato
sites currently being considered across
70+ PG&E’s service area
Olema
8 sites in Marin County
San Rafael
Bolinas
The ability to energize these substations with temporary Corte Madera
generation during a PSPS event will be subject to Mill Valley
operational constraints, the specific circumstances of each Sausalito
event and the available supply of temporary generation.

Our goal is to work together to identify and secure multiple
CRC locations within each county/tribe in our service area.
