Document Description
On September 30, 1999 Pacific Gas and Electric Company filed an application (App No. 99-09-053) with CPUC to market value and sell its hydroelectric generating facilities and related assets through an auction. The facilities Pacific Gas and Electric Company proposes to sell include 68 powerhouses, 110 generating units with a capacity of 3,896 megawatts (MW), close to 2.3 million acre feet of reservoir capacity, certain land and non-consumptive water rights associated with the powerhouses, consumptive water rights, and other land associated with the hydroelectric facilities. Facilities stretch from the Pit River in the north to the Kern River in the south. With the exception of three facilities and 88,000 acres of associated land, Pacific Gas and Electric Company has authority to operate the facilites it proposes to sell under licenses granted by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
