The California Public Utilities Commission ordered energy utilities to construct additional power stations known as “peaker plants” to prevent brownouts like those occurring in the summer of 2006 and to meet growing demand for electricity.San Diego Gas & Electric has sited one such facility adjacent to its existing electrical substation near Antonio Parkway and Crown Valley Parkway, near the community of Ladera Ranch.
Proponents say that it will provide enough electricity for 30,000 households in South Orange County with little or no impact on the surrounding community. Opponents say it will reduce property values in the surrounding community and poses a health threat.
