At the direction of our Board of Directors, Peninsula Light Company (PenLight) is undertaking a due diligence process to evaluate the future of our headquarters facility. This planning is essential to ensure we can continue to serve our members safely and reliably, especially in times of crisis. A modern, secure facility not only protects our employees and strengthens emergency response — it also ensures we can fulfill our mission of delivering safe, reliable power — now and for generations to come. There is no formal approval of a facilities plan. The evaluation process is still ongoing.
The facility under consideration is PenLight’s current headquarters which serves as the operational base for dispatch, line crews, engineering, information technology, accounting, warehouse, fleet, supply storage, administration and member support since the 1980s.
PenLight is still in the preliminary draft design phase. Staff are working with consultants to evaluate needs and ensure safety, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. The Board has not approved any project. At this stage, it is premature to comment on a finalized plan or cost.
