RPCC is Victorious!

On December 18, 2008, the CPUC voted 4-1 to build the Sunrise Powerlink over a "Southern Route," with the beginning point at the Imperial Valley substation and the ending point at the Sycamore Canyon substation, just south of Poway. The CPUC adopted RPCC's arguments that assuming the transmission line is built, it should stop short of running through Coastal suburban San Diego, including Rancho Penasquitos. While it is unfortunate that the line is going to be built at all, the ruling is a complete victory for RPCC and the arguments RPCC set forth during three years of fighting with SDG&E.

To all of you who contributed money... we could not have done this without you! For all of you who contributed time, RPCC thanks you. Please let this be a testament that communities/people who come together can make a difference, even in the appearance of overwhelming odds and far more powerful foes. RPCC especially wants to thank the RPCC Directors, past and present, who worked so hard to put this opposition together.
