PG&E Prepares for Super Bowl 60

As Super Bowl LX approaches on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the spotlight turns to the Bay Area. Among the key players behind the scenes is Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), which has put in significant efforts to make sure that energy supply remains safe and reliable for the event and surrounding festivities.

Preparation for this highly anticipated event has been in progress since September, well before the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots were confirmed as the competing teams. PG&E has been diligently working to ensure that all venues in the Bay Area, including Levi's Stadium, will be powered reliably during the celebrations. Silicon Valley Power serves as the primary electricity provider for the stadium, and PG&E plays a supporting role by delivering transmission services to the substation.

In collaboration with local government and public safety partners, PG&E is focused on the needs of the community, emphasizing that their commitment goes beyond just providing energy. The aim is to keep the Bay Area energised and safe for residents, visitors, and local businesses alike. Vincent Davis, PG&E's Chief Customer Officer, stated, “This week is about more than football. It’s about the communities we serve every day.”

To prepare for Super Bowl week, PG&E has formed a partnership with the Super Bowl 60 Bay Area Host Committee (BAHC), the NFL, and various public safety agencies. This proactive approach emphasizes the company's dedication to ensuring readiness for all attendees, whether they be local residents or international visitors. Key components of the pre-event checklist include:

• - Inspections of electric and gas facilities designated for high-profile events
• - Assessment of at-risk overhead and underground transformers
• - Inspection and updating of essential operating equipment
• - Confirmation of generation needs, including temporary generation options
• - Readiness checks for materials and fleet resources

This extensive coordination highlights how various teams are collaborating to build resilience into the energy supply system, providing a seamless experience for all attendees during this high-profile occasion.

To ensure continuous support on game day, PG&E has activated its system-wide Emergency Operations Center and local emergency-response centers in both San Francisco and San Jose. Additional crews will be on duty to address any issues that may arise throughout the day.

PG&E will also engage with the BAHC, the San Jose Sports Authority, the NFL, and various regional civic and nonprofit organizations to offer fan experiences and community-impact events during Super Bowl week. Their sponsorship will aid significant programming like the Super Bowl Breakfast, Taste of NFL, and various volunteer activities focused on community engagement across the Bay Area.

Reflecting on PG&E's longstanding association with the Super Bowl, it's notable that the last Super Bowl event in the Bay Area, Super Bowl L, took place ten years ago, where the Denver Broncos triumphed over the Carolina Panthers. In that instance, PG&E acted as the official Clean Energy Partner, powering Super Bowl City.

As the countdown to the Super Bowl continues, the efforts made by PG&E ensure that energy remains uninterrupted, creating a safe environment for those attending the event. By focusing on community collaboration and preparedness, PG&E demonstrates its commitment to providing essential services while contributing positively to the vibrant festivities surrounding Super Bowl 60.
