Summary
San Diego Gas & Electric’s proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink—nearly 150 miles of towering transmission lines through Temecula, Anza-Borrego, and beyond—is sparking fierce local resistance. Residents fear visual blight, wildfire risks, and damage to the region’s rural character, especially its wine country. While SDG&E argues the project is vital for bringing renewable energy to the grid and preventing future power outages, critics point to past failures and question the transparency of the planning process. With city officials pushing back and the project still in early stages, the final decision rests with the California Public Utilities Commission, with construction possibly starting as early as 2029.
