Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel to hold a public virtual meeting
The community is invited to attend the free online meeting
–The Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel (DCDEP) will hold a virtual public meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 25 from 6-9:30 p.m. The meeting will be held via Zoom.
The agenda includes:
- Discuss the recent California Public Utilities Commission proposed decision on Pacific Gas and Electric’s (PG&E) 2018 cost estimate for decommissioning Diablo Canyon Power Plant.
- Discuss the process and market analysis for the repurposing of plant facilities and the surrounding 750 acres known as “Parcel P”.
- Discuss the potential for offshore wind energy development and how it could impact the repurposing of the site.
- Continue discussion on supplementing community water supplies from the DCPP desalination facility.
The DCDEP was created to foster open and frequent dialogue between members of the local community and PG&E on matters related to the plant’s decommissioning. Panelists include local community members from across San Luis Obispo County who were selected to broadly represent diverse community viewpoints. The panel meets periodically on matters related to the plant’s decommissioning and the future use of the plant’s current lands and facilities.
Representatives from PG&E, the California Energy Commission and subject matter experts on desalination and real estate will be making presentations and responding to the panel’s questions.
The public can register to attend the online webinar by visiting the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel website. In addition to the live webinar, the meeting will be broadcast on SLOSPAN and local access Channel 21.
Information about decommissioning the power plant is also available on the recently updated PG&E decommissioning website, which includes interactive maps and a special YouTube channel for virtual access to decommissioning information.
