The California PUC began investigating the safety practices of gas and electric utilities under its jurisdiction to head off disasters.

FERC will not review WECC's $2.2 million penalty against PG&E for violations of NERC reliability standards, along with several other settlements by the RE.

CPUC President Marybel Batjer — who has tackled wildfires, blackouts and PG&E — said she'll leave at the end of the year, with five years left in her term.

Four manslaughter charges against PG&E in the 2020 Zogg Fire followed the first lawsuit against the utility for starting the still-burning Dixie Fire.

FERC approved an interconnection waiver requested by CAISO for two 30-MW generating units needed for reliability.

The 900,000-acre Dixie Fire is preventing PG&E stock from rising much above $9/share, shorting a fire victims' trust funded with utility stock by $2.5 billion.

The CPUC and the judge overseeing PG&E's probation are leaning on the utility to clear trees from lines that could start fires.

California regulators ordered PG&E to hire an independent safety monitor for five years, rejecting the utility’s request for a shorter period of oversight.

A massive wildfire that Pacific Gas and Electric equipment is suspected of causing exploded overnight and destroyed the historic gold rush town of Greenville.

PG&E said the Dixie Fire burning in Northern California could hurt its finances but denied it committed crimes in starting last year’s deadly Zogg Fire.
