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

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

The NERC Board of Trustees authorized management to terminate the agreement between the organization and the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council.

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.

A judge delayed his decision to impose new probation conditions on Pacific Gas and Electric in its criminal case for the 2010 San Bruno gas line explosion.

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.

A lawyer for PG&E said the utility did file for bankruptcy to ensure it is able to compensate the victims of wildfires that ravaged Northern California.

PG&E confirmed they hope to rescind costly power purchase agreements and reform its obsolescent business model during bankruptcy.
