California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Meeting about San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant

Irvine City Council Chambers, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is holding its next "Voting Meeting" on Thursday, October 25th in the Irvine City Council Chambers, which gives those affected by the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant a tremendous opportunity to address all of the Commissioners.
The meeting starts at 9:00 am, but check in by 8:45 am to speak during the Public Comment period at the start of the meeting (if desired), and take seats before the meeting starts.
The CPUC's published Agenda for this meeting includes opening an Investigation into issues raised by the extended outage of San Onofre Nuclear Plant Units 2 and 3. The CPUC regulates the rates and reliability of electric service by SoCal Edison & SDG&E, majority and minority owners of San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant.
Please attend to show support for a CPUC investigation into the financial aspects concerning the future of San Onofre, for ratepayer protection from unwarranted expenses and a clear choice about investing in truly clean, safe and sustainable alternatives.
