SACRAMENTO – Energy Safety today issued its Annual Report on Compliance (ARC) for the approved 2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) Update of Horizon West Transmission (HWT). Energy Safety’s evaluation found that Horizon West Transmission (HWT) completed all nine (100%) of its initiatives in its 2022 WMP Update.
HWT undertook significant efforts to reduce its wildfire risk and achieved all its initiatives and program targets, including all initiatives with planned expenditure. Energy Safety continues to monitor HWT’s implementation of its ongoing wildfire mitigation activities and push the company to improve its ability to ultimately eliminate utility-caused catastrophic wildfires in California.
Energy Safety is required to conduct an annual assessment of the electrical corporations’ implementation of their approved WMPs and WMP Updates.
Additional ARCs on approved 2022 WMP Updates for the remaining electrical corporations are scheduled to be released in the coming weeks.
