PG&E (PCG) and Smart Wires have partnered to enhance grid reliability in San Jose through advanced power flow control (APFC) technology. The project will increase capacity by over 100 megawatts at the Los Esteros electric substation, supporting new data centers in the Alviso community. Smart Wires' SmartValve devices will be installed by late 2025, mitigating thermal overloads by up to 34%.
The solution addresses CAISO's projected load increase of 500 MW in the San Jose area due to data center growth. This technology was chosen over alternatives like reconductoring and energy storage for its cost-effectiveness and rapid deployment capabilities. The system will continue to optimize power distribution even after a new transmission line is completed in 2032.
PG&E (PCG) reports a significant surge in data center electricity demand, projecting 8.7 gigawatts (GW) of power needs over the next decade, up from 5.5 GW in late 2024. The utility is currently managing 18 new data center projects totaling 1.4 GW in the final engineering phase, scheduled for operation between 2026-2030. Additionally, 21 new project applications totaling 4.1 GW are under review.
A key benefit for customers: every 1 GW of new data center demand could reduce monthly electric bills by 1-2%. Projects are primarily located in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, with some in the Central Valley and Sacramento. PG&E is conducting a comprehensive study across its 70,000-square-mile service area and partnering with Westbank on a net-zero community project in San Jose.
PG&E (PCG) is warning customers about safety risks from helium-filled metallic balloons during graduation season. In the first five months of 2025, metallic balloons caused over 130 power outages in PG&E's service area, affecting more than 54,000 customers. These incidents can disrupt critical facilities like hospitals and schools.
The company emphasizes that metallic balloons' silvery coating conducts electricity, potentially causing transformer shorts, power outages, and melted electrical wires when contacting power lines. A previous incident during a North Coast homecoming parade resulted in 2,700 customers losing power when balloons hit power lines.
PG&E urges customers to secure metallic balloons with weights, keep them indoors when possible, and never attempt to retrieve balloons caught in power lines.
