2 2015 Annual Progress Report to WECC Pacific Gas and Electric Company Waiver of Significant Transmission Project Status Tables 1 and 2 update the planned transmission and generation projects, respectively, in PG&E service area that were presented in PG&E s 2012, 2013, and 2014 Annual Progress Reports. These projects were granted waiver of Significant Transmission Project status for the purpose of Project Coordination Review Process. Tables 3 and 4 list the planned transmission and generation projects, respectively, in PG&E service area requesting waiver of Significant Transmission Project status. The purpose of these projects is to serve local load, to enhance or maintain local reliability, and/or to reduce local capacity requirements. These projects are not expected to have significant impacts on the operation of the Western Interconnected System. PG&E requests waivers of the Significant Transmission Project status for the purpose of Project Coordination Review Process.
