Document Description
Kiewit is under contract with Pacific Gas & Electric Company to install a steel lining in PCWA's Middle Fork Tunnel Surge Shaft. In order to facilitate performing this work, Kiewit would like to purchase power from PCWA. This exemption is for an Agreement between Kiewit and PCWA for the use of power from PCWA's Middle Fork short distance from the surge shaft. In order to provide the power supply, Kiewit will upgrade the pole-mounted voltage step-up transformer located at the bottom of the penstock, fuse protect the existing pole-mounted voltage step-down transformer located at the top of the penstock adjacent to the penstock butterfly valve house, add three new transformers to supply power to Kiewit's water treatment equipment, and upgrade the pad-mount transformer located in the microwave building. PCWA will upgrade the size of the cables from the existing 150 ampere supply breaker located in the powerhouse to the pole-mounted voltage step-up transformer.
