Watching PG&E CEO Bill Johnson grinding his teeth on live television, it's gonna be quite a week
He says PG&E has 4500 workers out trimming trees but that it essentially doesn't matter because of "these wind storms" uh
PG&E will "do another meteorology run or two" and decide Wednesday afternoon if the power will be shut off. Reminder that the CPUC's deenergization rules call for consumer notice "as feasible and appropriate". #PSPS
PG&E CEO Johnson says decentralizing energy and "microgrids will play a part of this" in the long term. This year they "aren't doing any of that."
An investor-owned energy monopoly talking about "decentralizing" power is... something!
Very curious what microgrid folks think about this!
I wrote some about the role of microgrids in the event of increasing #PSPS events earlier this year. But if a private monopoly is doing that "decentralizing," how "decentralized" is it?
