While PG&E is pursuing the steps to continue operating Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) up to 2030 as directed by the state, PG&E will continue to provide opportunities for community input regarding future decommissioning plans and potential future uses of the Diablo Canyon site. In keeping with PG&E’s commitment to involve the community in the eventual decommissioning of DCPP, the utility and the Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel (Panel) announced jointly that applications are now being accepted to join the Panel. 

New members are sought to join this local, non-regulatory stakeholder group who have been providing community input to PG&E since 2018 regarding ongoing decommissioning planning activities. There are several positions subject for appointment or reappointment consistent with the Panel’s Charter. The 30-day application period ends March 22.

Members of the community who are interested in participating on the Panel can obtain more information on how to apply at pge.com/engagementpanel.

Current Panel members not seeking reappointment, as well as one representative from PG&E and the California Public Utilities Commission, will select candidates who broadly reflect the diverse stakeholder viewpoints in proximity to DCPP.

The Panel public meetings will continue to provide members of the Panel with opportunities to learn about the technical aspects of the decommissioning process and provide input. This forum will also provide opportunities to engage with PG&E on the potential future use of the lands that surround DCPP and potential repurposing of its facilities. Public meetings occur throughout the year and are open to the public to receive additional community feedback.

Eligibility requirements: consistent with the Panel’s Charter, elected officials and current PG&E employees and their immediate family members will not be considered eligible for community membership on the Panel.
