CPUC APPROVES UNDERGROUNDING OF
TEHACHAPI TRANSMISSION LINE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2013 - The California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) today granted the request of the City of
Chino Hills to underground a segment of Southern California
Edison’s Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, finding
that the design of the above ground line effectively ignores
community values and places an unfair and unreasonable
burden on residents.
Said CPUC President Michael R. Peevey, “It’s the dawn of a
new era in transmission line planning in this state. In
urban and suburban areas, we have to look anew at how
we site transmission lines, and carefully weigh their role
in fulfilling the state’s energy goals against their impact
on community values. I know undergrounding costs more,
but I believe in this instance the costs are manageable and
relatively minor considering the overall well-being of the
populace in doing so.”
