THEY'VE BURNED US BEFORE.
SDG&E power lines & equipment sparked the 2007 RICE FIRE. Over 200 homes destroyed. Over 9,000 acres burned.
Lives forever changed.
200-FOOT TALL TOWERS. 145 MILES. FOUR COUNTIES.
SDG&E has proposed the Golden Pacific Powerlink— a 500-kilovolt transmission corridor with towers reaching up to ~200 feet tall through portions of Fallbrook and surrounding communities. The project is designed to move electricity between substations, providing NO DIRECT BENEFIT to the communities it would pass through.
Save Fallbrook is here to help our community understand what's being proposed, why it matters, and how to participate before decisions are made.
This website is just the beginning. More information, resources, maps, FAQs, and opportunities to get involved will be added as the project moves forward. Thank you for your patience as we continue building this community resource.

SDG&E will be using an 11-table "station" model with SDG&E staff at each station.
The 11 stations will focus on:
Attendees will have the option to provide written comments via physical cards or through an online survey that is not yet completed or posted.
If you have experience or knowledge in any of the above areas, PLEASE REGISTER TO ATTEND.
Increased ignition risk, blocked evacuation routes, and crippled firefighting capacity.
Scenic views dominated by 200' towers. Public health and safety risks.
Added wildfire risk in already high-fire zones makes coverage harder to secure and afford.
Fallbrook's rolling hills and protected lands ravaged with towers.
Crossing the Santa Margarita River, threatening endangered species, sensitive habitats, and open spaces.
Agriculture, tourism, recreation, agri-tourism, property values.
Cancer risk, EMF exposure, buzzing and crackling noise pollution.

The existing Talega-Escondido 230-kV transmission line runs from San Clemente to Escondido and is visible from miles away.
The proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink is a NEW line-- meaning it may or may not run parallel or intersect the existing Talega-Escondido line.

The map released by SDG&E shows a preliminary 1,000-foot wide study corridor — NOT a final alignment.
The proposed line stretches from Imperial Valley to Orange County, with Fallbrook in its path.
.
Additional routes have been acknowledged during public meetings, but are not being released for public view.

The iconic Rattlesnake Water tank stands approximately 48 feet tall.
The proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink towers will stand more than 4 times taller--
as tall as a 20-story building.
Is this what you want to see across our protected lands and scenic vistas?

Our goal is simple— to educate residents, encourage meaningful public participation, and help protect the qualities that make Fallbrook such a special place to live, work, and raise a family.
Save Fallbrook stands alongside a growing coalition of residents, businesses, organizations, public entities and neighboring communities working together to better understand and evaluate SDG&E's proposed Golden Pacific Powerlink.
Throughout California, informed communities have successfully influenced major infrastructure projects by participating in the environmental review process and making their voices heard.
The future of Fallbrook hasn't been decided. The time to learn, ask questions, and get involved is now.
