Gov. Gavin Newsom continued reconfiguring the state's energy leadership with changes at the California Energy Commission and in his office.

The CPUC is worried about customers after approving back-to-back $1 billion cost increases for PG&E and substantial rate hikes for the state’s other big IOUs.

In a Q4 call, PG&E for the first time put a price tag of more than $25 billion on its proposal to underground 10,000 miles of lines in high-threat fire areas.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said its investigation had determined that a tree hitting a PG&E line started the massive Dixie Fire.

Cal Fire concluded that a tree falling on a PG&E power line started the Dixie Fire, potentially affecting PG&E's bid to exit federal probation Jan. 25.

PG&E plans to build more standalone “remote grids” in California, allowing the utility to remove distribution lines serving small groups of isolated customers as a way to reduce wildfire danger.

A PNNL study has solidified the link between melting Arctic Ocean ice and the wildfires that regularly ravage the Western U.S.

WECC staff said that they are committed to improving their approach to their annual State of the Interconnection Report.

The California PUC penalized PG&E $125 million for starting the 2019 Kincade fire by using a new enforcement tool that caused discord among commissioners.

The governor's senior energy adviser, Alice Reynolds, will move in December to the CPUC, an agency struggling to head off wildfires and capacity shortfalls.
