Bay Area builders, homeowners accuse PG&E of holding up ADUs
April 15, 2025
The difficulty of dealing with PG&E is what surprises homeowners putting in a granny flat, said Katherine Anderson, founder of Danville-based Perpetual Homes, which has built more than 175 ADUs in the Bay Area.
Some of her company’s projects have been delayed by as much as a year due to PG&E requirements, she said.
“We want to move our clients into ADUs and we’re sitting around waiting for PG&E,” Anderson told the Chronicle. “A lot of times we just find ourselves apologizing over and over to the client about how long PG&E is taking.”
