Bankruptcy attorneys representing PG&E told Judge Dennis Montali the utility’s reorganization plan is the best possible outcome for victims and ratepayers.

Fire victims unhappy with PG&E’s reorganization scheme urged U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali to reject it during the second day of arguments.

The CPUC unanimously approved PG&E’s reorganization plan but warned it will be able to end the utility’s monopoly should it fail to ensure public safety.

PG&E’s CFO took to the virtual stand in bankruptcy court to face questions about the “feasibility” and “fairness” of the utility’s reorganization plan.

A three-day trial that could conclude the bankruptcy of PG&E began via videoconference, with Judge Dennis Montali presiding from his home.

The California PUC approved a settlement with PG&E that imposes penalties of more than $1.9 billion for safety and maintenance lapses that led to wildfires.

A California PUC proposal would speed the interconnection of microgrids to utility distribution systems in anticipation of the state’s upcoming fire season.

The judge in charge of PG&E’s criminal probation imposed new conditions requiring the utility to do better to avoid starting wildfires.

The judge overseeing PG&E’s bankruptcy rebuffed the utility’s request to quickly approve agreements signed between it, fire victims and government agencies.

PG&E Corp. CEO Bill Johnson announced he would retire at the end of June, by which time the utility is hoping to exit bankruptcy.
