The project and a preliminary application were created in 2014, with a 500 MW capacity from up to 292 turbines. An application for the 230 kV interconnect to the Umatilla Electric Cooperative (and thus Bonneville Power Administration and the Western Interconnection) was submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in 2017.

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is an American investor-owned utility (IOU). [2] The company is headquartered at Kaiser Center, in Oakland, California.PG&E provides natural gas and electricity to 5.2 million households in the northern two-thirds of California, from Bakersfield and northern Santa Barbara County, almost to the Oregon and Nevada state lines.
Southern California Edison's (SCE) two Path 26 lines connect to PG&E's grid at the Midway Substation. A PG&E line heading southeast from Midway substation is the third line of Path 26, not Path 15. Eventually, this line is replaced with SCE towers. [3] [4]

PGE Boiler #16 in 1988. The utility was founded in 1888 by Parker F. Morey and Edward L. Eastham as Willamette Falls Electric Company. On June 3, 1889, it sent power generated by one of four brush arc light dynamos at Willamette Falls over a 14-mile (23 km) electric power transmission line to Portland, the first US power plant to do so.
Power is distributed under contract with Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). [23] The project's reservoirs have a gross storage capacity of 203,865 acre-feet (0.251464 km 3). [24] In addition to hydroelectric power, the project significantly increases the water flow in the Bear River, the main source of NID's irrigation water supply. [24]
A wide area synchronous grid (also called an "interconnection" in North America) is a three-phase electric power grid that has regional scale or greater that operates at a synchronized utility frequency and is electrically tied together during normal system conditions.
The California Electric Company (now PG&E) in San Francisco in 1879 used two direct current generators from Charles Brush's company to supply multiple customers with power for their arc lamps. This San Francisco system was the first case of a utility selling electricity from a central plant to multiple customers via transmission lines. [ 11 ]
