"Alice Kaufman, policy and advocacy director of Green Foothills, stated, "The development threats keep coming, and we do have to keep having this fight over and over again. What we really hope ... is that we're able to have Coyote Valley permanently protected for conservation.""
"Casey Carroll, senior vice president of energy infrastructure development for LS Power, expressed appreciation for PG&E's flexibility, stating, "LS Power will be able to move forward with its project at the Metcalf substation with a reduced footprint.""
Environmental advocates achieved a significant victory by preventing the construction of a new energy substation in Coyote Valley, which is crucial for wildlife corridors. The California Public Utilities Commission approved LS Power Grid California to utilize the existing Metcalf substation instead. This decision aims to enhance grid reliability and access to low-cost energy while minimizing environmental hazards. Advocates emphasize the need for ongoing protection of Coyote Valley against development threats, highlighting its importance for conservation efforts.
