The inaugural Wildfire Technology Innovation Summit held at California State University, Sacramento, attracted about 700 attendees.

The rift over the rapid expansion of community choice aggregators in California took center stage at a state Senate hearing on Tuesday.

Cal. officials expressed concern that the state’s push toward 100% clean energy and the rapid growth of community choice could imperil grid reliability.

The growth of solar power in California will require a huge amount of new electricity storage to allow the state to meet its ambitious green energy goals.

Pacific Gas and Electric proposed spending up to $2.3 billion on grid hardening, increased line inspections, and vegetation management to prevent wildfires.

California’s investor-owned utilities submitted enhanced wildfire mitigation plans to the PUC, and PG&E's will be reviewed by a federal judge.

The Utility Reform Network sent a letter to federal trustees requesting the Bankruptcy Court appoint a committee of ratepayers to represent PG&E customers.

The California PUC is considering whether to fine Southern California Edison for its failure to report a nearly $1 billion shortfall in revenues last year.

Protesters at the California PUC meeting urged the commissioners to turn PG&E into a publicly owned utility as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

California PUC President Michael Picker told lawmakers the commission isn’t the best public entity to address the “enormity” of the recent wildfire crisis.
