application is discretionary on the part of the CPUC, California law requires this CEQA review. The
CPUC issued the Draft EIR on August 5, 1998. The complete Draft EIR is available online or can
be downloaded from this website. You can purchase a copy of the Draft EIR by calling (415)

BACKGROUND As part of deregulating the electric industry, the CPUC has
requested that PG&E divest at least 50 percent of its fossil-fuel power plants in order to diversify the future
electric market. PG&E has already sold the Morro Bay, Moss Landing, and Oakland power plants. For information
on the CEQA review process related to the divestiture of these plants, click here.
