Utility Applications in San Jose
San Jose service work runs through PG&E's service planning queue, and it is the busiest territory we file in. Overhead-to-underground conversions and transformer-triggering load increases are the two things that most often turn a three-month job into a nine-month one.
What's different here
PG&E Application Quirks
- 01
PG&E service planning assignment can take several weeks before an engineer even reviews the application — filing early is the whole game.
- 02
Load increases past the existing transformer capacity trigger a distribution upgrade with its own separate timeline.
- 03
San Jose's permit center and PG&E run on independent clocks; we sequence them in parallel rather than back to back.
- 04
Greenbook clearance and meter-location rules are verified before submittal so the package isn't kicked back.
