Under the three-year agreement, TRC expects to be engaged in several projects each valued in the $10 million to $20 million range.
According to the company, the projects will enable Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to meet its expected electric load growth and maintain reliable electricity service to its expanding customer base.
Consistent with the industry trend, PG&E is expected to spend more than $3 billion up to 2011 on transmission infrastructure improvements and upgrades.

Under the contract, TRC will perform the detailed engineering design and specifications associated with the substation construction. The 345kV substation will accommodate a control house, breakers, all the necessary electrical equipment and supports.
