PG&E Power Line Undergrounding Project

PG&E Power Line Undergrounding Project – Pine Mountain Lake

PG&E is undergrounding several miles of powerlines in Pine Mountain Lake in an effort to reduce the number of power outages in our area. The project timeline for 2025 is from April 21, 2025 to July 1, 2025. Members can expect one-lane traffic control and temporary delays on Elder Lane and Pine Mountain Drive in 2025.

PG&E will be providing weekly project construction location schedules.
