Californians should not pay the price for decades of PG&E’s greed and neglect. PG&E must be held to account for their gross mismanagement of the power shutoffs that impacted nearly 2 million Californians last week.
Because of PG&E, Californians were forced to seek electricity for basic necessities, shut down their businesses, or travel to parking lots to keep medical devices charged. PG&E should provide affected customers compensation for their hardships -- an automatic credit or rebate.
The mismanagement of the power shutoffs last week was unacceptable. The California Public Utilities Commission will be conducting a serious and comprehensive review of PG&E’s planning, implementation, and decision-making process failures.
California will hold PG&E accountable to make serious changes -- changes that will prioritize the safety of Californians and modernizing its equipment.
