Our Mission

To protect rural communities and backcountry land in San Diego County, while providing solutions for San Diego's future energy needs through local generation and distribution of clean renewable energy.

To oppose construction of destructive, inefficient energy projects, such as the Sunrise Powerlink, that endanger and destroy rural communities and backcountry lands in San Diego County.

Connected Actions

In addition to the Sunrise Powerlink, SDG&E and SEMPRA are planning other invasive energy infrastructure projects that are related to the powerlink. Due to the significant and cumulative negative impacts these projects will have on the rural backcountry and communities that we want to protect, POC has determined that we need to address these issues through project research, official filing of comments, protest letters, and potential future legal action.
