A second annual compliance report from the PG&E Independent Monitor has been released.
The findings for Year 2 included:
- The Monitor conducted quality assurance reviews of PG&E inspections of 51 transmission line assets and found one deficiency which is in the process of being remediated.
- The Monitor conducted quality assurance reviews of PG&E inspections of 1,087 distribution assets across the county and identified two deficiencies which were remediated by PG&E.
- The Monitor conducted quality assurance reviews of 214 miles of PG&E inspections of its circuits to verify PG&E’s compliance with vegetation management regulations. Across these 214 miles, the Monitor team observed 131 deficiencies, that included hazardous trees and issues related to radial clearance. 128 of these deficiencies have been cured or remediated by PG&E and the remaining three are in the process of being remediated.
The Independent Monitor, Filsinger Energy Partners, was appointed in April 2022 to monitor PG&E’s compliance with various safety measures imposed upon the company by a Stipulated Judgment between the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office and PG&E and ordered by Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Patrick Broderick on April 8, 2022, related to the 2019 Kincade Fire.
The Monitor will conduct oversight of PG&E for a period of five years, which commenced on April 11, 2022.
