SACRAMENTO – The Office of Energy Infrastructures Safety (Energy Safety) today released its 2024 vegetation management audit report of San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) 2023-2025 Wildfire Mitigation Base Plan (WMP).
The audit covered 13 vegetation management initiatives in six programmatic areas of SDG&E’s 2024 WMP. Energy Safety’s audit concluded that SDG&E successfully achieved the objectives of 10 of its vegetation management initiatives within its 2024 WMP. However, Energy Safety identified deficiencies in three initiatives (wood and slash management, substation defensible space, and open work orders) that SDG&E did not successfully implement. SDG&E has acknowledged these deficiencies and has planned for or initiated implementation of corrective actions to address them.
