Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) proposes to construct and operate a three-bank, 115- 12 kilovolt (kV) distribution substation in the Fulton-Fitch Mountain Distribution Planning Area (DPA), known as the Windsor Substation Project (project). The project is needed to relieve the electric system deficiency projected to occur in the Town of Windsor, Sonoma County, and to ensure safe and reliable electric service to existing and approved development. The site of the proposed substation is located 0.25 mile west of the intersection of Conde Lane and Mitchell Lane in the Town of Windsor, and is bounded by Mitchell Lane to the north and the Northwestern Pacific Railroad (NWPRR) right-of-way to the west.

The Frenchman Tap Substation project involves the construction of a power substation, transmission line tap, and related microwave communications facilities. This will provide a Sierra Pacific Power Company's and Oxbow Geothermal's transmission systems. Additionally it will improve reliable import capability by strengthening the tie to Southern California Edison through Bishop, California.
