The California Public Utilities Commission just published some 65,000 emails between Pacific Gas and Electric Company executives and state regulators.
An administrative law judge ruled earlier this month that the utility must release by today the communications to the CPUC and the city of San Bruno, the site of a September 2010 gas transmission line explosion that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.
The company said the emails covering almost five years, from 2010 through September 2014, were examined as part of an internal review. Inappropriate communications have already been reported to the CPUC, according to a written statement from the utility company.
"While we will make no excuses about unethical conduct, it is critical for the public to know that, as a regulated entity serving the needs of 16 million Californians, it is entirely appropriate for us, as well as other groups, to communicate with our regulators on an ongoing basis," PG&E's statement says in part. "The vast majority of the 65,000 communications have been completely appropriate, but in those few instances when they were not, we took immediate and definitive action."
