The City of San Jose in California has signed an Implementation Agreement with utility Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to streamline and guarantee power delivery for data centers and other large load customers. According to the partners, the deal is in response to the skyrocketing demand from new data centers across the wider region.
“San Jose isn’t just the heart of Silicon Valley — we’re the launchpad for what’s next,” said Mayor of San Jose, Matt Mahan. “This landmark agreement will enable us to continue to lead the AI revolution by increasing grid capacity, reliability, and efficiency. And with clear performance measures built into the agreement, we’re holding ourselves and PG&E accountable — making sure businesses get the power they need, when they need it. The message is clear: San Jose is ready to deliver.”
“San Jose represents the future of our hometowns in California — a model for how strong partnerships help us deliver on our triple bottom line, serving people, the planet, and the state’s prosperity. My coworkers at PG&E are proud to power San Jose’s growth with infrastructure built for purpose that delivers safe, reliable, clean, and affordable energy for all,” said PG&E CEO Patti Poppe.
