We depend on electricity to power our modern way of life. It makes us more productive at work, through devices like computers and copiers. It enhances public safety, through devices like traffic signals and street lights. It helps us to stay in touch with the people we care about by powering communication infrastructure and devices. Once TRTP is complete, a larger portion of this electricity will come from clean, renewable energy sources. TRTP will provide enough power for approximately three million homes. It will also help meet California's ambitious goal of receiving 33% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020. Construction efforts on TRTP in 2014 saw significant progress. We thank you for your patience as we work to finish this important upgrade to the electric grid. It is estimated we will be complete with all portions of the overhead project by spring of 2015. It is estimated construction of the underground project will be complete toward the end of 2016.
