To help keep "the lights on" by assuring the productivity, reliability, and availability of California's electric generation infrastructure.
Responsibilities
The Electric Generation Performance Branch meets its goal by implementing and enforcing GO 167. Its staff performs operation and maintenance audits, outage inspections and investigations of incidents at electric generation facilities. The staff also reviews certification filings, status and incident reports, and analyzes performance data of power plants in an effort to ensure that the generating facilities are appropriately maintained and operated, and that electrical service to the customers is reliable and adequate.
The branch has offices in three locations - San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles. The San Francisco and Sacramento offices are responsible for overseeing the condition of plants in Northern California, and the Los Angeles office is responsible for Southern California.
