<wikipedia>
SVP receives generation produced outside Santa Clara via transmission facilities owned and operated by PG&E under the direction of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO).

About 2/3rd of SVP power comes from outside. If PG&E cuts certain transmission lines the good folks of Santa Clara will feel the bite, a bit lesser perhaps, but a brown-out can be willfully imposed by PG&E
