They are at it again. AB 235 is a gut-n-amend bill once again offered at the end of the session, and with only one committee hearing to go. This time, PG&E wants ratepayers to guarantee funds for the wildfire damages they incurred in 2017 and 2018. There are many things wrong with this bill – including its perverse incentive for PG&E to continue deferring investment in the systems, management and culture of wildfire safety that California ratepayers deserve. And again, the California Alliance for Community Energy is strongly opposed.
