"In November 2014, the District completed the Out Valley Transmission Line Project connecting the Kirkwood Valley to the national grid via a PG&E substation located at Salt Springs Reservoir."
So, they used to be powered by diesel, but now that generator is just a back up. However, Kirkwood electricity rates are still very high. High enough where I take my laundry back home to clean it instead of doing it there. While I agree this probably was not the lone reason fro delaying/abandoning the project, it at least had to be a factor. BUt, they do have 8 or so destination chargers, so they are still footing the bill for some cars to get charged there.
