Nevada County water agency considers PG&E power takeback
About 200 people piled into the Nevada Irrigation District headquarters in Grass Valley on Tuesday night to discuss the possibility of the water agency taking control over the local electric grid amid growing frustration with PG&E power shutoffs.
“It’s about local control,” said general manager Remleh Scherzinger. “It’s about taking back the opportunity to decide how we, as a community, want to run our power system.”
Nevada Irrigation District is an independent agency that supplies water to about 85,000 customers in Nevada and Placer counties. Scherzinger said the district is looking into acquiring local PG&E assets after the community called for action.
“We would purchase their assets and their property as necessary to begin the service here in our community,” he said.
Makes perfect sense. PG&E has already amply demonstrated that they are incapable of managing their system efficiently. Time to deregulate.
