Document Description
The Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power is proposing to replace the existing marine electrode portions of the SGRS. The replacement facility will be located in the vicinity of the existing SGRS marine facility in Santa Monica Bay. While the new marine facility would be in a different alignment than the existing, it would serve the same purpose and function as the existing facility. The SGRS is an integral component of the Pacific Direct Current Intertie Transmission Line (PDCI), which transmits bulk power between Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest. The PDCI is a direct current system, and it cannot operate reliably without a ground return system. Due to physical and operational system deficiencies with the existing marine facility of the SGRS, its replacement is proposed to increase the reliability and stability of the power generation and delivery system for the Southern CA; to continue to meet current and projected demand for power in the region; and to help increase the available share of renewable resource energy for the PDCI partners.
