Sunrise Powerlink Completed to Deliver Clean Energy

It was a great honor to be with Governor Brown, SDG&E, and everyone else yesterday to celebrated the completion of the Sunrise Powerlink. We have known for a long time that the Imperial Valley is a gold mine for wind and solar energy. Tapping that gold mine was the hard part, and that's why we fought for 5 years to get the permits issued for the Sunrise Powerlink, which will function as a pipeline for renewables to provide Southern California with 1,000 megawatts of clean energy.

It was a fantastic event. I love action, and I loved seeing this project come to fruition after being there through the 11,000 pages of environmental impact report and the groundbreaking. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.
