Campus Utility Power Service Interruption Announcement

Campus Utility Power Service Interruption Announcement

July 11^th to 12^th and July 25^th to 26^th, 2020

In an effort to reduce the campus’s carbon footprint, a two-megawatt solar parking canopy will be built at the East Remote Parking Lot. The new Solar Photovoltaic system will project two-megawatts of power (off-setting approximately 20% of the PG&E campus power demand). The campus must install and test equipment at Slug Substation for the new Solar Photovoltaic System. In order to complete this work a campus shut-down is required. On July 11^th to 12^th and July 25^th to 26^th the campus will be shut-down to install all the required equipment to connect the photovoltaic system to the campus grid and perform testing.

SHUTDOWNS:

Saturday, July 11^th at 5:00am to Sunday, July 12^th at 5:00pm

Saturday, July 25^th at 5:00am to Sunday, July 26^th at 5:00pm

Please power down your computers, printers, equipment, etc. before the power outage.

Also please note elevators will not be operational during these power outages.

Review the following four lists for the status of your building and check with your Building Coordinator for additional information:

A. Facilities that will experience utility power interruptions July 11^th, 12^th, 25^th and 26^th.

B. These facilities are planned to be unaffected by the July 11^th, 12^th, 25^thand 26^th utility interruptions because Cogen will be providing power.

C. Facilities with emergency and standby power supplied by generators.

D.Facilities that are planned to be unaffected by the utility interruptions because fed directly from PG&E.
