SDG&E Shut Off Plan

The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors will take up San Diego Gas & Electric Company’s ill-conceived electricity shut off plan at next Tuesday’s board meeting, June 23rd, which starts at 9 a.m. at the County Administration Building, 1600 Pacific Highway, Third Floor, San Diego. The discussion will center on both the issue of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) sought by SDG&E with San Diego County and the need for the County to formally oppose the shut off plan and communicate their opposition to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The discussion is being brought to the board by Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Pam Slater, who recommend the Board oppose the plan and the proposed MOU.

Please attend the meeting if you can. The more people we have in support of Supervisors Jacob and Slater (we need support from all over the county), the more likely the Board will vote to oppose the SDG&E Shut Off Plan. The shut off plan is opposed by water districts, the County Office of Education, those working with the disabled, telecommunication companies, and the CPUC’s own Consumer Protection and Safety Division as well as the Division for Ratepayer Advocates.
