It’s also the fourth straight month the agency has broken its record for family arrests. Meanwhile, Mexican officials are trying to avert the tariffs by agreeing to increased immigration enforcement and changing asylum rules to make it easier for the Trump administration to deport migrants from Central America. Also, House Democrats passed a bill on Tuesday that would protect more than 2 million undocumented migrants in the U.S. from deportation, including hundreds of thousands of “Dreamers,” who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The Republican-controlled Senate, however, is unlikely to take up the measure, which does not contain any funding for a border wall. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Deep Gulasekaram, Santa Clara University School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Republican strategist, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>California Assemblyman Rob Bonta\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2012, Rob Bonta became the first Filipino-American elected to the California State Legislature.

This session, he is sponsoring a bill that would require landlords to show just cause before they evict renters living in units that are more than 10 years old. Another bill he introduced would phase out the state’s use of private, for-profit prison facilities by 2028. Former Gov.

A loss of power could disrupt public water systems needed to fight fires and play havoc with emergency responders’ radio communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC’s response has been to focus on identifying the full range of potential impacts and developing communication strategies so that all the agencies that might be affected by a power outage know well in advance and have developed contingency plans for the blackout period.

The companies will need to give 24 to 48 hours’ warning to everyone else, including customers. The guidelines also require follow-up messages within one to four hours of a shutdown, when it’s occurring and again when the process of restoring power is underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online resources for each of the major utilities shutoff programs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>PG&E:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en_US/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/public-safety-power-shutoff-faq.page\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Public Safety Power Shutoff\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Southern California Edison:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sce.com/safety/wildfire/psps\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Latest on Public Safety Power Shutoffs\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>San Diego Gas & Electric:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sdge.com/wildfire-safety/public-safety-power-shutoffs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wildfire Safety: Power Shutoffs\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]6[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>Have past power shutoffs been effective in preventing wildfires?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to give a definitive answer, but the most persuasive evidence that de-energizing power lines may be effective in preventing catastrophic wildfires comes from San Diego Gas and Electric. According to data the company provided to the CPUC, its power facilities were involved in starting 175 fires from 2013 through 2018. Of those fires, just three were larger than 10 acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers who have sued PG&E on behalf of Northern California wildfire victims have pointed out that the San Francisco-based utility’s equipment started 1,552 fires in a shorter time frame — 2014 through 2017 — with 68 of those blazes growing to larger than 10 acres. (PG&E has challenged the comparison, noting that its service area is 17 times larger than SDG&E’s and that its distribution and transmission line mileage is five times larger than that maintained by the San Diego utility.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: The CPUC’s decision declares that pre=emptive power shutdowns “can save lives” if coupled with tougher measures to keep trees and other vegetation away from electrical lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11751033\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/GettyImages-76412182-e1559198784751.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11751033\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/GettyImages-76412182-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">PG&E transmission lines like these in South San Francisco could be shut down during periods of extreme fire danger. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]7[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>How many people could lose electricity in a public safety power shutoff?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, power shutoffs have involved utilities’ local distribution circuits and have affected relatively small areas. San Diego Gas and Electric has conducted the most shutoffs. Six of the nine shutdowns the company has conducted since 2017 have involved fewer than 1,000 customers. SDG&E’s largest shutoff, last November, involved about 25,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When PG&E decided to pre-emptively shut down lines last Oct. 14, it targeted about 40 distribution circuits spread across Napa, Sonoma, Lake, El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Calaveras counties. The number of customers on each circuit varied from as few as 14 up to about 5,200, and about 60,000 customers in all lost power — which stands as the single-largest public safety power shutoff in California to date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the limited size of shutdowns could change this year, with PG&E announcing it will consider shutting down high-voltage transmission lines \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747485/cal-fires-official-finding-pge-equipment-touched-off-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like the one in Butte County\u003c/a> that touched off last November’s Camp Fire. In filing its \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11724248/pge-unveils-wildfire-safety-plan-featuring-possible-large-scale-power-cutoffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state-mandated wildfire mitigation plan\u003c/a> earlier this year, PG&E said de-energizing transmission lines could mean a loss of power anywhere in it 70,000-square-mile service area — even for cities like San Francisco and San Jose that face no immediate wildfire threat. Such a shutdown could also affect factories, airports and other facilities served directly by transmission lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC’s decision says that in the event a transmission line shutoff is being considered, utilities must inform the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s grid, as soon as possible. The power companies must also coordinate with regional and national agencies that provide grid reliability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]8[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>If there’s a public safety power shutoff, how long will I be without electricity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego Gas and Electric, the utility that has the most experience with power shutoffs, says blackouts in its service area have lasted from one minute — you read that right: 60 seconds — to six full days. A review of its biggest shutdown to date, which took place last November, shows that most of the 25,000 or so affected customers lost power for 30 to 48 hours; one circuit, with about 1,400 customers, was out for four days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In PG&E’s power shutdown last October, most of the 60,000 affected customers appear to have had the lights back on within 24 to 30 hours. Some were in the dark for a little more than two days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main reason for delays in restoring power comes from continuing dangerous fire conditions and the need for crews to inspect lines for damage and complete repairs when necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]9[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>All the food in my fridge spoiled because of a public safety power shutoff. Will the utilities pay?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is another “that depends” answer. San Diego Gas and Electric has a claims procedure and received 300 reports of losses in its November 2018 shutdown. About 220 of the claims were for food spoiled because of loss of refrigeration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E reported receiving 146 claims after its October 2018 shutoff — again, mostly for food losses. The company remarks in its report: “PG&E has stated publicly that because of the safety-related nature of (public safety power shutoff) events, customers will not be reimbursed for associated losses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]10[/dropcap] \u003cstrong>What changes are being considered in the way public safety power shutoffs are conducted?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission is due to review this year’s shutoffs and hear comment from the utilities, emergency operations officials, first responders and business and residential customers – among other stakeholders – about how the pre-emptive blackouts could be refined. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature is likely to at least try to make its voice heard, too. State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, has introduced \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB378\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> for the next session that would impose new rules on how the shutoffs are handled. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to concerns from both large and small businesses and public officials like San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo about the disruptive effects of pre-emptive blackouts, Wiener’s bill would require utilities to compensate customers and local governments for costs incurrred during the outages. The bill would also impose fines for every hour a public safety power shutoff is in place – a measure designed to ensure the utilities impose then only when necessary and not a step meant to avoid potential liability. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The guidelines also require follow-up messages within one to four hours of a shutdown, when it’s occurring and again when the process of restoring power is underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online resources for each of the major utilities shutoff programs:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>PG&E:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.pge.com/en_US/safety/emergency-preparedness/natural-disaster/wildfires/public-safety-power-shutoff-faq.page\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Public Safety Power Shutoff\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Southern California Edison:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sce.com/safety/wildfire/psps\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Latest on Public Safety Power Shutoffs\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>San Diego Gas & Electric:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sdge.com/wildfire-safety/public-safety-power-shutoffs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wildfire Safety: Power Shutoffs\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">6\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>Have past power shutoffs been effective in preventing wildfires?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard to give a definitive answer, but the most persuasive evidence that de-energizing power lines may be effective in preventing catastrophic wildfires comes from San Diego Gas and Electric.

San Diego Gas and Electric has conducted the most shutoffs. Six of the nine shutdowns the company has conducted since 2017 have involved fewer than 1,000 customers. SDG&E’s largest shutoff, last November, involved about 25,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When PG&E decided to pre-emptively shut down lines last Oct. 14, it targeted about 40 distribution circuits spread across Napa, Sonoma, Lake, El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Calaveras counties. The number of customers on each circuit varied from as few as 14 up to about 5,200, and about 60,000 customers in all lost power — which stands as the single-largest public safety power shutoff in California to date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the limited size of shutdowns could change this year, with PG&E announcing it will consider shutting down high-voltage transmission lines \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747485/cal-fires-official-finding-pge-equipment-touched-off-camp-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like the one in Butte County\u003c/a> that touched off last November’s Camp Fire. In filing its \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11724248/pge-unveils-wildfire-safety-plan-featuring-possible-large-scale-power-cutoffs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state-mandated wildfire mitigation plan\u003c/a> earlier this year, PG&E said de-energizing transmission lines could mean a loss of power anywhere in it 70,000-square-mile service area — even for cities like San Francisco and San Jose that face no immediate wildfire threat. Such a shutdown could also affect factories, airports and other facilities served directly by transmission lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC’s decision says that in the event a transmission line shutoff is being considered, utilities must inform the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s grid, as soon as possible. The power companies must also coordinate with regional and national agencies that provide grid reliability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">8\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>If there’s a public safety power shutoff, how long will I be without electricity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego Gas and Electric, the utility that has the most experience with power shutoffs, says blackouts in its service area have lasted from one minute — you read that right: 60 seconds — to six full days. A review of its biggest shutdown to date, which took place last November, shows that most of the 25,000 or so affected customers lost power for 30 to 48 hours; one circuit, with about 1,400 customers, was out for four days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In PG&E’s power shutdown last October, most of the 60,000 affected customers appear to have had the lights back on within 24 to 30 hours. Some were in the dark for a little more than two days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main reason for delays in restoring power comes from continuing dangerous fire conditions and the need for crews to inspect lines for damage and complete repairs when necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">9\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>All the food in my fridge spoiled because of a public safety power shutoff.

San Diego Gas and Electric has a claims procedure and received 300 reports of losses in its November 2018 shutdown. About 220 of the claims were for food spoiled because of loss of refrigeration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E reported receiving 146 claims after its October 2018 shutoff — again, mostly for food losses. The company remarks in its report: “PG&E has stated publicly that because of the safety-related nature of (public safety power shutoff) events, customers will not be reimbursed for associated losses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">10\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp> \u003cstrong>What changes are being considered in the way public safety power shutoffs are conducted?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Public Utilities Commission is due to review this year’s shutoffs and hear comment from the utilities, emergency operations officials, first responders and business and residential customers – among other stakeholders – about how the pre-emptive blackouts could be refined. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature is likely to at least try to make its voice heard, too.

We're watching the end of an unusually wet spring that, so far, has held down the number and size of fires statewide. But the weather is already heating up. The grasses, chaparral and forests that serve as fuel for our big fires will start drying out — fast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That much is familiar. But there will be something different about the 2019 fire season, too, reflecting a campaign to try to limit the damage from blazes sparked by power lines.

It promises a vast effort to inspect and repair its network of power lines, poles and high-voltage transmission towers, remove thousands of hazardous trees and expand a network of weather stations to monitor fire conditions. PG&E's wildfire mitigation blueprint could cost as much as $2.3 billion by the company's latest estimate , a bill that customers could well wind up paying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan also includes a dramatically expanded program of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750896/cpuc-pge-deenergization-wildfire-safety-power-shutoffs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pre-emptive power shutoffs\u003c/a> during periods of extreme fire danger — high winds, high temperatures and critically low humidity. The company says that in addition to turning off local distribution lines in such conditions, it will consider shutting down high-voltage transmission lines and that outages could affect large parts of its 70,000-square-mile service area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are questions and answers about the new state-mandated wildfire mitigation plans and how they may affect utility customers this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]1[/dropcap]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Wildfire mitigation plans: What are they and how did they come about?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The plans are required under \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB901\">SB 901\u003c/a>, a law sponsored by Sen.

Under the law, the utilities would be allowed to pass the cost of repaying the bonds on to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But SB 901 also declared a need for each electric utility to run its business \"in a manner that will minimize the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by those electrical lines and equipment.\" To push PG&E and other utilities in that direction, the law \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PUC§ionNum=8386.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requires\u003c/a> each company to deliver an annual wildfire mitigation plan addressing 19 areas of operations, inspections, maintenance, planning and system improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those areas: Plans for managing vegetation in areas adjacent to power lines; performing systemwide inspections and repairs where necessary; and updating equipment, for instance by replacing ordinary power lines with insulated lines less prone to sparking a fire if they come into contact with a tree branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]2[/dropcap]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What's in PG&E's plan?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>PG&E's original plan details an accelerated program to remove dangerous trees; inspect power lines, power poles and transmission line towers in the state's highest-risk wildfire areas; install \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1942292/pge-wants-to-make-a-massive-investment-in-weather-stations-heres-why\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hundreds of new weather stations\u003c/a> to improve the utility's assessment of conditions that could pose a wildfire threat; and launch an expanded \"public safety power shutoff\" program under which PG&E could shut down extensive parts of its power grid during times of extreme fire danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the specifics of the plan, with initial estimated costs for each segment:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>An expanded vegetation management plan, in which the company says it will remove 375,000 potentially hazardous trees and clear brush and other potential fuels from 2,450 miles of power lines.

How many people will be affected?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Preemptive power shutdowns are designed to reduce wildfire risk by halting the flow of current through electrical lines during times of forecast extreme fire danger. The shutdowns are a technique pioneered on a wide scale by San Diego Gas and Electric Co. after its power lines touched off 2007's Witch Fire, which killed two people and destroyed 1,100 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the CPUC's blessing, PG&E carried out its first public safety power shutoff during red-flag fire warnings last October — an event that affected about 60,000 customers in Napa, Sonoma, Lake, El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Calaveras counties. Power stayed off for more than two days in some areas as crews inspected weather-related damage to power lines and other equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's power shutoff plan is fundamentally different this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could affect much larger parts of its service area, which includes 16 million people, spread across 70,000 square miles of Northern and Central California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year's power shutdowns targeted local distribution circuits — parts of the electrical grid that might serve anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand customers each. This year, PG&E says, it will consider shutting down transmission lines, which carry higher-voltage power from generating stations and serve much larger areas. As a result, PG&E says wildfire-related outages could affect any community in its service area — even if they're not in an area directly threatened by extreme fire danger. For example, the company said in its amended wildfire plan last month that even San Francisco faces the possibility of a blackout if \"multiple East Bay transmission lines\" were shut down preemptively due to extreme fire conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]4[/dropcap]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How much does PG&E say its plan will cost?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When it submitted the first version of its wildfire management plan in February, PG&E put the total cost for 2019 between $1.7 billion and $2.3 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an amended plan submitted in late April — and not considered by the CPUC because it was submitted too late for public comment — the company said it expected its costs to rise. In the case of its ambitious safety program, PG&E put the CPUC on notice that it expects the price tag for its inspection program \"to substantially increase\" — in large part due to the difficulty of finding trained personnel to do the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]5[/dropcap]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who will pay for the PG&E wildfire management program? How much?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under the terms of SB 901, the law that requires the wildfire mitigation plans, PG&E and other utilities have been ordered to record their costs for the program in special \"memorandum\" accounts that allow the expenses to be tracked apart from other company activities. The CPUC will review the expenses incurred as part of the wildfire plans and will have the power to reject costs it finds unreasonable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But given concern over the financial health of PG&E as it moves through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, it's likely that ratepayers — meaning you, the PG&E customer — will wind up paying for at least some of the company's new safety program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much more? At this point, it's hard to say with any certainty what the wildfire program will cost customers. But PG&E's announcement last December that it would seek a revenue increase of about $2 billion over three years beginning in 2020 might give us some idea. The company said the average residential utility bill would rise by 6.4 percent, or $10.57 a month, due to that proposed increase. Whether the wildfire plan results in a similar rise depends on which costs the CPUC allows and how it structures the increased rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]6[/dropcap]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What challenges does PG&E face in implementing its plan?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In its original plan, PG&E called out a long list of factors that could slow down work — and repeatedly mentioned the availability of trained workers as a potential limiting factor. An example of the challenge in finding and retaining workers: One of PG&E's longtime tree-trimming contractors \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11745335/pge-lost-longtime-tree-trimming-contractor-as-scrutiny-on-utility-mounted-over-wildfires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ended its relationship\u003c/a> with the company several months ago, possibly because of liability concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its April plan amendment, the utility told the CPUC that weather, a shortage of available helicopters for aerial inspections, difficulty in getting required government permits, lack of cooperation among some private landowners and a lack of workers would lead to delays on work for the plan. Some elements that were forecast to be completed by the end of this week — for instance, inspections of 685,000 power poles in areas the CPUC has designated as high fire threat districts — will now be completed \"as soon as feasible\" in areas where the company has encountered problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]7[/dropcap]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are the major criticisms of the PG&E wildfire mitigation plan?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most pointed comment on the PG&E plan has come from the CPUC's Public Advocates Office and from ratepayers advocacy groups like The Utility Reform Network and the California Environmental Justice Alliance. Among the major issues these groups have raised:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>Rising costs of wildfire safety inspection program:\u003c/b> The cost of PG&E's wildfire safety inspection program, which PG&E initially estimated at about $800 million to $1.3 billion, could rise substantially. Commenters have noted the increase in inspection costs from a mere $15 million in PG&E's last rate-setting case and questioned whether the company has carried out inspections properly in the past. The CPUC's decision advises the company it will likely face public challenges in recovering these costs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>System hardening:\u003c/b> The limited extent and high cost of PG&E's proposal to replace uninsulated power lines with insulated wire. Commenters note that the utility plans to install just 150 miles of insulated wire this year, a tiny fraction of the 7,100 miles of line the utility says it needs to replace. The total cost for stringing those 150 miles of new wire: $236.9 million, or $1.5 million a mile.

Jerry Brown last year and overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission — has resulted in a requirement for power providers to create plans detailing what measures they'll take to reduce the risk of more catastrophic fires this year.

It promises a vast effort to inspect and repair its network of power lines, poles and high-voltage transmission towers, remove thousands of hazardous trees and expand a network of weather stations to monitor fire conditions. PG&E's wildfire mitigation blueprint could cost as much as $2.3 billion by the company's latest estimate , a bill that customers could well wind up paying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan also includes a dramatically expanded program of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750896/cpuc-pge-deenergization-wildfire-safety-power-shutoffs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pre-emptive power shutoffs\u003c/a> during periods of extreme fire danger — high winds, high temperatures and critically low humidity. The company says that in addition to turning off local distribution lines in such conditions, it will consider shutting down high-voltage transmission lines and that outages could affect large parts of its 70,000-square-mile service area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are questions and answers about the new state-mandated wildfire mitigation plans and how they may affect utility customers this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">1\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Wildfire mitigation plans: What are they and how did they come about?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The plans are required under \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB901\">SB 901\u003c/a>, a law sponsored by Sen.

The law's most frequently discussed and controversial \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=PUC&division=1.&title=&part=1.&chapter=4.&article=5.8.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provision\u003c/a> was the creation of a system that would allow utilities to issue bonds to pay for wildfire expenses — including damages awarded in lawsuits — incurred in 2017 or after Jan. 1, 2019. Under the law, the utilities would be allowed to pass the cost of repaying the bonds on to customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But SB 901 also declared a need for each electric utility to run its business \"in a manner that will minimize the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by those electrical lines and equipment.\" To push PG&E and other utilities in that direction, the law \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PUC§ionNum=8386.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requires\u003c/a> each company to deliver an annual wildfire mitigation plan addressing 19 areas of operations, inspections, maintenance, planning and system improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those areas: Plans for managing vegetation in areas adjacent to power lines; performing systemwide inspections and repairs where necessary; and updating equipment, for instance by replacing ordinary power lines with insulated lines less prone to sparking a fire if they come into contact with a tree branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">2\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What's in PG&E's plan?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>PG&E's original plan details an accelerated program to remove dangerous trees; inspect power lines, power poles and transmission line towers in the state's highest-risk wildfire areas; install \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1942292/pge-wants-to-make-a-massive-investment-in-weather-stations-heres-why\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hundreds of new weather stations\u003c/a> to improve the utility's assessment of conditions that could pose a wildfire threat; and launch an expanded \"public safety power shutoff\" program under which PG&E could shut down extensive parts of its power grid during times of extreme fire danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the specifics of the plan, with initial estimated costs for each segment:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>An expanded vegetation management plan, in which the company says it will remove 375,000 potentially hazardous trees and clear brush and other potential fuels from 2,450 miles of power lines.

How many people will be affected?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Preemptive power shutdowns are designed to reduce wildfire risk by halting the flow of current through electrical lines during times of forecast extreme fire danger. The shutdowns are a technique pioneered on a wide scale by San Diego Gas and Electric Co. after its power lines touched off 2007's Witch Fire, which killed two people and destroyed 1,100 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the CPUC's blessing, PG&E carried out its first public safety power shutoff during red-flag fire warnings last October — an event that affected about 60,000 customers in Napa, Sonoma, Lake, El Dorado, Placer, Amador and Calaveras counties. Power stayed off for more than two days in some areas as crews inspected weather-related damage to power lines and other equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's power shutoff plan is fundamentally different this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could affect much larger parts of its service area, which includes 16 million people, spread across 70,000 square miles of Northern and Central California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year's power shutdowns targeted local distribution circuits — parts of the electrical grid that might serve anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand customers each. This year, PG&E says, it will consider shutting down transmission lines, which carry higher-voltage power from generating stations and serve much larger areas. As a result, PG&E says wildfire-related outages could affect any community in its service area — even if they're not in an area directly threatened by extreme fire danger. For example, the company said in its amended wildfire plan last month that even San Francisco faces the possibility of a blackout if \"multiple East Bay transmission lines\" were shut down preemptively due to extreme fire conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the case of its ambitious safety program, PG&E put the CPUC on notice that it expects the price tag for its inspection program \"to substantially increase\" — in large part due to the difficulty of finding trained personnel to do the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">5\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who will pay for the PG&E wildfire management program? How much?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Under the terms of SB 901, the law that requires the wildfire mitigation plans, PG&E and other utilities have been ordered to record their costs for the program in special \"memorandum\" accounts that allow the expenses to be tracked apart from other company activities. The CPUC will review the expenses incurred as part of the wildfire plans and will have the power to reject costs it finds unreasonable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But given concern over the financial health of PG&E as it moves through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, it's likely that ratepayers — meaning you, the PG&E customer — will wind up paying for at least some of the company's new safety program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much more? At this point, it's hard to say with any certainty what the wildfire program will cost customers. But PG&E's announcement last December that it would seek a revenue increase of about $2 billion over three years beginning in 2020 might give us some idea. The company said the average residential utility bill would rise by 6.4 percent, or $10.57 a month, due to that proposed increase. Whether the wildfire plan results in a similar rise depends on which costs the CPUC allows and how it structures the increased rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">6\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What challenges does PG&E face in implementing its plan?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In its original plan, PG&E called out a long list of factors that could slow down work — and repeatedly mentioned the availability of trained workers as a potential limiting factor. An example of the challenge in finding and retaining workers: One of PG&E's longtime tree-trimming contractors \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11745335/pge-lost-longtime-tree-trimming-contractor-as-scrutiny-on-utility-mounted-over-wildfires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ended its relationship\u003c/a> with the company several months ago, possibly because of liability concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its April plan amendment, the utility told the CPUC that weather, a shortage of available helicopters for aerial inspections, difficulty in getting required government permits, lack of cooperation among some private landowners and a lack of workers would lead to delays on work for the plan. Some elements that were forecast to be completed by the end of this week — for instance, inspections of 685,000 power poles in areas the CPUC has designated as high fire threat districts — will now be completed \"as soon as feasible\" in areas where the company has encountered problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">7\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are the major criticisms of the PG&E wildfire mitigation plan?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most pointed comment on the PG&E plan has come from the CPUC's Public Advocates Office and from ratepayers advocacy groups like The Utility Reform Network and the California Environmental Justice Alliance. Among the major issues these groups have raised:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>Rising costs of wildfire safety inspection program:\u003c/b> The cost of PG&E's wildfire safety inspection program, which PG&E initially estimated at about $800 million to $1.3 billion, could rise substantially. Commenters have noted the increase in inspection costs from a mere $15 million in PG&E's last rate-setting case and questioned whether the company has carried out inspections properly in the past. The CPUC's decision advises the company it will likely face public challenges in recovering these costs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>System hardening:\u003c/b> The limited extent and high cost of PG&E's proposal to replace uninsulated power lines with insulated wire.

The total cost for stringing those 150 miles of new wire: $236.9 million, or $1.5 million a mile.
