SACRAMENTO – The Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety (Energy Safety) today issued its Annual Report on Compliance (ARC) for Pacific Gas and Electric’s (PG&E) 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP).
Energy Safety evaluated the 2023 WMP initiatives of PG&E’s approved 2023-2025 Base WMP and found that PG&E completed 58 of 60 or 96 percent of its 2023 initiative targets, including 10 of the 10 initiatives with the largest planned expenditure. Although PG&E did not meet two initiative targets, the two missed targets did not hinder the company’s ability to mitigate its wildfire risk, and it was largely successful in executing its plan for wildfire risk mitigation.
Energy Safety will continue to monitor PG&E’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.
