  11. Zoning • Existing Transmission System • Natural Gas Delivery Project Constraints

  12. Consequences of No Project • Existing Power Plants Continue to Run! • Hunters Point Power Plant #4 • Potrero Power Plant #3 • Less Reliability for San Francisco • Potential for Service Outages and Blackouts • San Francisco Loses $40-45 Million State Subsidy • Larger Power Plant May be Built by Private Developer

  13. Site Selection – Multiple Power Plants “Yes” indicates that the condition was satisfied, and that there was no difference in meeting the criteria by all listed sites. Differentiation in how the site met the conditions is indicated by a “5 to 1” rating system. 5 – Very Favorable 4 – Favorable 3 – Neutral 2 – Unfavorable 1 – Very Unfavorable
