San Jose is moving towards an agreement with PG&E that mandates enforceable milestones for its electric infrastructure. While the City Council has approved negotiations, they are also considering establishing their own utility if PG&E doesn't meet obligations. Councilmember David Cohen expressed cautious optimism about the relationship and emphasized the city's need for reliable energy, particularly for tech companies and development. The ongoing frustrations with PG&E have caused investor skepticism, and the success of future projects hinges on the utility provider’s ability to deliver services efficiently. Also, nearby cities with municipal utilities have advantages in attracting investments, pressuring San Jose to explore its own options.
"San Jose is inching toward an agreement with PG&E that would require concrete, enforceable milestones for the utility’s infrastructure construction and operation in the city."
"I feel stronger about our relationship with PG&E now than I have at any time... A lot of these are difficult discussions about whether PG&E is capable of providing us with the energy resources we need."
