SPEAR STREET SUBSTATION

The primary objectives of the Project may include: a. Expand system capacity by constructing a new substation at Seawall Lot 328, with transmission connections to PG&E's Potrero Substation and future distribution to downtown and the northern waterfront. b. Support waterfront redevelopment by providing reliable power infrastructure to the Port of San Francisco's planned facilities, piers, and mixed-use projects. c. Enable electrification mandates by meeting the California Air Resources Board's directives for all- electric short-haul passenger ferries and supporting conversion of natural gas steam boilers to electricity through the Carbon Free Steam Project. d. Enhance resiliency and reliability of SFPUC's power system by creating additional transmission, distribution, and redundancy pathways. e. Facilitate clean energy transition and contribute to San Francisco's Climate Action Plan goals by delivering affordable, carbon-free power to municipal and waterfront customers. f. Accommodate future growth by designing the substation with capacity for additional distribution customers and expansion opportunities.
