Big bytes need big watts. 💻⚡ Proactively working to serve 10 #gigawatts (GW) of new electricity demand from data center projects over the next ten years—that's enough energy to power approximately 7.5 million homes simultaneously! We’re fast-tracking #grid connections and unlocking billions in benefits for #California: https://lnkd.in/gNpinPSA #PoweringProgress #DataDriven #CleanEnergy

Last week #California ran the biggest battery test in state history—and it was powered by people. On July 29, thousands of home batteries quietly joined forces to form a virtual power plant (VPP), delivering 535 megawatts to the #grid during peak evening demand. No emergency. No blackout. Just a test. And it worked. This wasn’t just about tech—it was about trust. ✅ Real-time response ✅ Grid reliability ✅ Equity-driven participation ✅ Everyday Californians helping keep the lights on From wildfire-prone communities to medically vulnerable households, this test proved that battery storage isn’t just a clean energy solution—it’s a lifeline. California’s grid is evolving. And it turns out, the future of energy might already be coming from your garage.

🛟 Real-life #heroism at Fisherman’s Wharf in #SanFrancisco! While working on a barge near Pier 39, PG&E contractors Kirk Rissinger and Keith Brossett from Sevenson Environmental Services Inc. spotted a #surfer struggling to swim back to shore after his #hydrofoil #surfboard cracked. Without hesitation, they jumped into action, using a boat to rescue him from the chilly waters and get him safely back to land. 🌊👏 💬 “That’s the commitment to safety we want to see,” said PG&E’s Iain Baker. From #environmentalremediation to saving lives, this team proves that #safety isn’t just a policy—it’s a mindset. 💙 City and County of San Francisco San Francisco Chamber of Commerce #safetyfirst #hero #community
