Energy Safety Issues Annual Report on Compliance for Approved 2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update of Trans Bay Cable

SACRAMENTO – Energy Safety today issued its Annual Report on Compliance (ARC) for the approved 2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) Update of Trans Bay Cable (TBC).

 

Energy Safety’s evaluation found that Trans Bay Cable (TBC) completed only one of three initiative activities in its 2022 WMP Update and was mostly unsuccessful in executing its plan for wildfire risk mitigation during the 2022 compliance period.

 

Energy Safety will continue to monitor TBC’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.

 

The ARCs for Liberty Utilities, Southern California Edison, Horizon West Transmission, San Diego Gas and Electric, and PacifiCorp were released on Nov. 8, Oct. 21, Sept. 24, Sept. 26, and Oct. 1, respectively. Additional ARCs on approved 2022 WMP Updates for the remaining electrical corporations will be released in the coming weeks.
