In March 2025, PG&E committed up to $43 million to fund nine new community microgrids in the North Coast region. PG&E argues that this project provides a unique, fully sustainable solution to address power resiliency amidst the growing challenges of wildfire risk in California.
Serving approximately 1,600 PG&E customers in and around downtown Calistoga, the 293 megawatt hour (MWh) microgrid system enables the isolated Calistoga community microgrid to maintain power during safety shutoffs, delivering at least 48 hours of continuous energy supply with a peak power output of 8.5 megawatts (MW) during PSPS events.
PG&E has deployed 13 distribution microgrids since 2021 to support communities affected by Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), with Calistoga being the largest and first fully renewable system. These microgrids help keep communities and essential services—like fire stations, medical facilities, and grocery stores—powered during outages.
