Severe Delays in Initial Grid Connection for Tribal and Rural Communities.
Homes in Tribal and unincorporated rural areas often face multi-year delays for first-time grid connection, leaving residents without basic electricity and undermining resilience and equity.

• Illustrative Example – At the Los Coyotes Reservation some households have waited more than four years for initial connection to the SDG&E grid, leaving homes without electricity for extended periods and highlighting inequities in utility service delivery.
