Permits and inspections in St. Helena
Building and electrical permits inside St. Helena go through the Building Division of the City of St. Helena, based at City Hall, 1088 College Avenue. The city now does all permitting digitally and no longer accepts paper applications or plans. Permits are filed through its online permit center, called eTRAKiT, and inspections are scheduled there too.
The city has a rapid permit track that processes some work over the counter. Its Building Resources page names residential solar and energy storage, among others, as handled that way with a worksheet when the project meets the checklist conditions. It also has dedicated information pages for electric vehicle charging stations and for generators. Projects that involve exterior changes or additions can need design approval from the Planning Department before building permits are issued. For parcels outside city limits, such as vineyard land near town, Napa County Planning, Building & Environmental Services is the county agency.
J&J Electric pulls permits where a project calls for one.
Power and outages in St. Helena
Electricity supply works in two parts. MCE Clean Energy is the community choice program that buys the power for member communities, and PG&E still delivers it, maintains the lines and sends the bill. That split matters when you are troubleshooting. A supply question goes to MCE, while a dead meter or a downed line goes to PG&E. St. Helena is a member community of MCE in Napa County.
St. Helena has been named in local coverage of several PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs. On October 29, 2019, a shutoff reached 16,820 Napa County customers and St. Helena was among the communities affected. A November 2019 shutoff also listed St. Helena and Calistoga. Because the upper valley has seen repeated precautionary shutoffs, backup power gets considered early here, from battery systems that handle refrigeration and communications to generators sized for a whole house or a small business.
A historic Main Street and wine country buildings
St. Helena became a town in 1876 and was re-incorporated in 1889. Its motto is Napa Valley's Main Street, and the downtown is lined with older buildings. The Taylor, Duckworth and Company Foundry dates to 1884, the Rhine House at Beringer Vineyards to 1884, and the community center was built as a Carnegie library that served the city from 1908 to 1978. Elmshaven, the home of Ellen G. White, and the White Sulphur Springs site are both National Historic Landmarks. About 5,430 people lived in the city at the 2020 census.
Working in buildings from the 1800s and early 1900s means planning around old walls, limited conduit paths and wiring that predates modern grounding. Adding circuits, lighting or an EV charger to a heritage building is often a matter of finding a quiet path for the cable as much as sizing the breaker.
The St. Helena AVA was designated in 1995 and covers 9,060 acres with more than 400 vineyards, about 6,800 acres under cultivation. Names tied to the area include Charles Krug, Beringer, Markham Vineyards (founded in 1874), Duckhorn, Newton and V. Sattui. The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone and Napa Valley College's Upper Valley Campus are also here, which means commercial kitchens, teaching spaces and large buildings with serious electrical loads.
Fire has touched the area. The Glass Fire in September 2020 destroyed Chateau Boswell Winery near St. Helena and the White Sulphur Springs Resort, and the Adventist St. Helena Hospital was evacuated twice in five weeks. Winery owners here often ask about backup power for cellar refrigeration, crush season loads and irrigation pumps.
