The City of San José requires a building permit and a planning permit for a generator at a single-family home or duplex, whether it is a permanent hard-wired unit or a portable generator connected through a transfer switch, and any transfer switch must be a listed (certified) device.
When generator power is urgently needed, such as for medically needed equipment during a shutoff, the city offers a faster safety assessment for the building permit with no planning permit, for qualifying single-family and duplex homes.
Local utilities: San José Clean Energy, the city's default electricity generation provider; PG&E, power delivery, billing, and natural gas.

California utilities (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) run Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during high wildfire-risk conditions, cutting power to entire regions for a day or more at a time, independent of any storm damage. This planned-outage risk, on top of ordinary grid strain, is the primary driver of standby generator demand in the state.
