In Redwood Valley, PG&E lays out bold plans — few show up to listen
Turnout was sparse for Pacific Gas and Electric’s July 1 Open House at Eagle Peak Middle School in Redwood Valley — a missed opportunity for local residents to meet directly with PG&E leadership, including North Coast Regional Vice President Dave Canny. The event, held inside the school’s gymnasium, featured a range of informational booths on wildfire prevention, vegetation management, customer support programs, and updates on the Potter Valley Project. Representatives were stationed around the room to answer questions and share materials with attendees. PG&E’s plan to decommission the Potter Valley Project was a key topic. Tony Gigliotti, PG&E’s Senior Licensing Project Manager for Power Generation, was available to explain the utility’s surrender application and decommissioning timeline. … When asked about the lack of silt mitigation plans, PG&E stated that those details would be addressed during the upcoming environmental review process.
