Please be advised that Planning, Design & Construction will be performing a project that may impact you. Below are the details of the scope of work and anticipated impacts:

Scope of Work: Cogeneration redundancy for Substation B will be disconnected to enable a safe working environment for the construction crew. Gas turbine generator B will not be available during the loss of redundancy. SDG&E will continue to supply power to the campus.

Reason for Project: Work associated with the Electrical Infrastructure Upgrades project in support of current campus needs and future growth.

Anticipated Impacts: Occupants should be aware that normal cogeneration redundancy will be temporarily unavailable for Substation B. Although the likelihood of a utility interruption during this maintenance period is low while the campus is utilizing power from SDG&E, it is recommended that any sensitive equipment be shut down prior to the scheduled maintenance period in an abundance of caution.

Start Time / Date: Tuesday, October 8th, 2024, at 5:00 am

End Time / Date: Tuesday, October 8th, 2024, at 12:30 pm
