PG&E estimates total annual savings to be USD
5.7 million across the approximately 120
substation projects completed each year
The Smart Grid Tsunami
Like so many utilities with aging infrastructure, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E)
needed to modernize its substations and boost service reliability. “As we began a massive,
multi-year smart-grid project to address these issues, we knew it would be difficult for our
substation design team to keep up with the volume of design projects using our traditional,
manual design process,” explained Alexander Liang, senior design engineer at PG&E. “With
over 1,000 substations in our electric system, we needed to work faster and smarter –
so we turned to Bentley Systems for help.” A long-term Bentley customer and one of the
United States’ largest electric and gas utilities, PG&E is based in San Francisco, California,
and employs over 22,000 employees. The company provides natural gas and electric service
to approximately 15 million people throughout a 70,000-square-mile service area in northern
and central California.
