NEWS: PG&E data center pipeline swells to 10GW

PG&E’s data center pipeline hit a new high: California’s largest utility expects to connect 10 GW of data center capacity in the next 10 years. (Data Center Dynamics)

  • 17 of those projects, totaling 1.5 GW, are already in final engineering and slated to flip on between 2026 and 2030.

  • It’s not all smooth sailing: Operating and maintenance costs rose 3.7% last quarter, and wildfire liability still looms in the rearview…particularly as a new investigation into SoCal Edison is drawing attention back to risks from aging power lines.
