Super
Bowl City will run from Jan. 30 through Feb. 7. PG&E’s San Francisco
headquarters, located at the corner of Market and Beale streets, will
welcome fans to the free-to-the-public event.
PG&E delivers some of the cleanest energy in the nation to nearly 16
million people in Northern and Central California. More than 55 percent
of the energy PG&E delivers comes from sources that emit no greenhouse
gases. By the year 2020, PG&E expects that number will grow to
approximately 65 percent.
In 2015, PG&E announced a significant milestone of connecting 200,000
solar customers to its electric grid. With more solar than any other
utility in the country, PG&E connects a new solar customer to its
electric grid approximately every 11 minutes.
In advance of the game, PG&E is working with the Super Bowl 50 Host
Committee, the National Football League and myriad law-enforcement and
other agencies in San Francisco and the South Bay to ensure a safe and
enjoyable experience for those traveling from out of town as well as our
local PG&E customers.
The company has conducted venue-specific patrols of its electric and gas
facilities near all of the event venues to make sure that safe and
reliable service will be provided. Additionally, PG&E will open
emergency response centers in San Francisco and the South Bay during the
nine-day run of events in order to respond to any incidents, should they
occur.
“We couldn’t be prouder to be the Clean Energy Partner of the Super Bowl
50 Host Committee celebrating the 50th year of the big game.
Our customers know that Northern California is a special place to live,
and we welcome everyone who will be enjoying the festivities,” said
Helen A. Burt, PG&E senior vice president of external affairs and public
policy.
