PG&E is making a major move into a new facility near Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, CA. PG&E has signed papers on a 135,000 square foot building in Bishop Ranch that they will renovate with state-of-the-art technology for their employees. The new building is adjacent to PG&E's San Ramon Valley conference center (Crow Canyon Road and Alcosta Boulevard), which hosts training sessions and meetings for the utility.
This announcement must have Mayor Wilson dancing in the street as it is just the kind of economic support he is seeking. PG&E’s move will provide a nice shot in the arm to the local economy and to the new City Center when it is completed.
Inside Bay Area – Pacific Gas & Electric Co. will move 550 employees to San Ramon — including 450 from San Francisco — in a quest to operate more efficiently and reduce its costs, the utility giant said Tuesday.
Besides the 450 employees who will move out of San Francisco, the San Ramon building PG&E will occupy in the Sunset Business Park will also house about 75 workers from Pleasant Hill and 25 from Danville, said David Eisenhauer, a PG&E spokesman. The relocation of hundreds of workers to San Ramon is likely to bolster the East Bay city and nearby communities.

"The state-of-the-art amenities that will be installed and the fact that it is next door to our conference center are going to make this a great location for our folks to work," said Des Bell, vice president and chief procurement officer for PG&E. "In addition to serving our employees well, we will be able to save millions of dollars a year in operating costs, so this is truly a win-win."
