RE: DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 803-CA
Authorization Request for Orofino 1102 Electric Undergrounding Project
Phase 1.3
ENCLOSURES CONTAIN CUI//CEII – DO NOT RELEASE
Dear Frank L. Blackett:
This letter presents Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) submittal package and
construction authorization request to install underground electric facilities within the
boundary of PG&E’s DeSabla-Centerville Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 803. This work is part of PG&E’s Wildfire System
Hardening Program, which is part of PG&E’s overall Community Wildfire Safety
Program and intended to reduce the risk of future wildfire ignitions in the Tier 2 and Tier
3 High Fire District, as defined by the California Public Utilities Commission.
PG&E previously submitted Phases 1.1 and 1.2 of the undergrounding project to FERC
for review. FERC subsequently authorized Phases 1.1 and 1.2 for construction in a
letter to PG&E dated March 13, 2025. Phase 1.3 of the project, described herein,
connects the underground facilities installed under Phases 1.1 and 1.2 . Proposed work
within the FERC Project No. 803 boundary generally consists of trenching for the
installation of underground electric conduit and installation of various electric facilities
along the trench, including concrete boxes, electric poles, and pole anchors.
Enclosed with this submittal, please find the project description (Enclosure 1), the
quality control inspection program (Enclosure 2), and 100% submittal drawings
(Enclosure 3).
PG&E’s plans to mobilize for construction as soon as possible. PG&E respectfully
requests FERC authorization to proceed with the work within 60 days of this letter, by
September 23, 2025. PG&E plans to provide a final construction report within 90 days of
completion construction, otherwise PG&E will provide an update on the project status
and a plan and schedule for further action by April 1, 2026.
