The proposed project is a new electrical “distributing
station.” As DWP explained at the Town
Hall meeting, a distributing station is a part of the DWP’s electrical
generation, transmission, and distribution system. It transforms voltage from high to low
between the generating plant and the residential consumer.
Although specific plans and design details have yet to be
publicly disclosed, informal discussions between community members and DWP
suggest that the installation will comprise of multiple buildings spread over a
large footprint covering the entire site.
The proposed power distributing station is intended to supplement the
existing Distributing Station 29 in the Palisades Village. With ever-increasing energy demands, the
community anticipates that the proposed distributing station may ultimately
serve the entire greater Pacific Palisades area and beyond.
