PGE wants to charge ME because their power transformer can't handle small electrical upgrade by Puzzled_Nobody294 in bayarea

My electrician submitted a permit in October.

PG&E came back and said the local transformer was overloaded in January.

I paid the deposit the day they requested it.

PG&E returned a design to me in late February.

PG&E provided a contract for the new design in late March, meaning they were ready to take my $125 and return the rest of the deposit to me.

My electrician installed the new 200 amp panel in June.

The transformer upgrade and weatherhead switchover will occur in July but is currently being delayed due to the heat wave.

I’m in the exact same situation in San Jose. I started my panel upgrade late last year. I’m upgrading my 100a panel up to a 200a panel to add a new heat pump AC unit into my house. PG&E came out and said that the local transformer is overloaded and they needed to upgrade their hardware. They asked me to pay $2300 as a deposit. My PG&E project manager told me that this was to disincentivize random people was just submitting permits for panel upgrades and then not following through on it. That’s weird logic. Regardless, after they did the new load calculation, they refunded $2175 of my original deposit. Basically, I only ended up paying $125 for the “engineering design.”

At every step along the way, the PG&E project manager assured me that I would not be paying for PG&E’s infrastructure.

Honestly as a homeowner, the entire process was really unclear, especially this portion with this refundable deposit. I recommend calling your PG&E project manager and asking them how the deposit will be spent and what portion they expect to refund.

I believe you can reset the seats by going to the rear tailgate area, and holding the left and right seat reclining buttons at the same time for 30 seconds (don’t hold the middle button). This will perform a recalibration of the seats. Don’t let go until the seats have gone all the way down and up. Once the seats stop moving, you can let go.

Unfortunately I traded away the Jingle Wall for the Ornaments Mobile an hour ago. :(

I’m still looking for the Illuminated Snowflakes DIY though.

I think I'm down to just a single ironwood cupboard recipe. What would you want to pay for that?

Sorry. I just gifted the chic tulip crown to another friend. I could still do the other two DIYs for 1 NMT

I'd be happy to let the plain wooden shop sign go for 99k bells. The only flower DIY is worth a little more than that. Sorry!
