¬ Solution:

· Rearrange 230 kV lines and add circuit breakers

¬ Projects:

· Eight Mile Road Substation 230 kV Loop Project (T091).

· Lockeford-City of Lodi Area Reinforcement (T602, T605).

· Tesla 500/230 kV Transformer Project (T558, T669).

¬ What happens if problem not fixed:

· There will be shortage of generation if the LODI generator or if one of the N-1 outage happens.

_ Stability

¬ Problem

_ None

_ Normal Overloads.

¬ Problem 1:

_ Contractual load obligation between PG&E and NCPA and the city of Lodi to serve 135 MW of load.

¬ Solution

_ Reconductor 4.6 miles of the Lockeford-Lodi No. 3 60 kV line and re-rate the remaining 4.5 miles using 4 feet per second wind speed criteria.

¬ Project

_ Lockeford-Lodi 60 kV Line (T605 & T608).

¬ What happens if problem is not fixed:

_ PG&E can not meet its contract obligation to NCPA and City of Lodi. Also this project eliminates the need for the City of Lodi turbine as a RMR unit and saves $900,000.

¬ Problem 2:

_ Meet electric load increases and reduce RMR cost.

¬ Solution:

_ Rearrange 230 kV lines into a distribution substation and add 3-230 kV circuit breakers and relays.

¬ Project:

_ Eight mile Road 230 kV Loop (T091)

¬ What happens if problem is not fixed:

_ Continued low 230 kV voltage at Stagg Substation with an N-1 outage, and the continued need for the City of Lodi STIG generating unit at a RMR unit.

¬ Problem 3:

_ 100 MW of normal thermal capacity needed at Tracy and transfer constraint to Bay Area of 800 MW under some operations conditions.

¬ Solution:

_ Install a 500/230 kV transformer at Tracy Substation

¬ Project:

_ Tesla 500/230 kV Transformer (T558 & T669)

¬ What happens if problem is not fixed:

_ Can not serve 100 MW of Normal thermal capacity and continue to have an 800 MW transfer constraint to Bay Area under certain operating conditions.

_ Contingency

¬ Problem

_ None
