PG&E Data Center Pipeline Swells to 10GW

California’s largest utility company, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), has reported another increase in its data center pipeline. The utility said that it now has 10GW of capacity in its pipeline, expected for connection over the next ten years.

Of the 10GW, 17 data center projects with a combined capacity of 1.5GW are in the final engineering phases, with operations slated to begin between 2026 and 2030. The majority are in San Jose, Silicon Valley, and the greater San Francisco Bay Area, but also include some in the Central Valley and Sacramento.

"Data centers are powering more than just the digital world—they're helping power California's future, and PG&E is proud to lead the way in meeting growing demand for data centers," said Mike Medeiros, vice president, South Bay Delivery, PG&E. "This growth can help lower costs for all electric customers while creating tens of thousands of jobs and billions in local revenue."
