Supporting California’s energy future with environmental expertise

Electric Transmission Operations and Management Environmental Compliance

Keeping the lights on for millions of Californians takes more than power lines. It takes a commitment to the land and communities those lines cross. That’s where our team comes in.

We have partnered with a California utility to help them meet environmental standards for their maintenance and construction work. From the beginning, we review planned activities to identify any risks to sensitive habitats, cultural resources, or protected lands. Our specialists—including biologists, cultural experts, land planners, and field personnel—then recommend practical solutions to avoid or reduce those impacts.

In the field, we help implement environmental requirements, monitor activities in sensitive areas, and document compliance every step of the way. It’s a fast-paced process, but our goal is simple: keep projects moving while protecting the environment.

Overall, we collaborate with a variety of parties and technical specialists and are involved with a myriad of programmatic processes for federal, state, and local agencies. To date, we’ve worked on approximately 22,500 individual maintenance and operation actions.
