PG&amp;E is proposing these investments to continue to further reduce wildfire risk and deliver safe, reliable and clean energy service.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe company filed its funding proposal as required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) today, outlining investments in grid safety and resiliency, new technology and innovations, and gas and electric system infrastructure improvements to benefit its customers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe CPUC requires energy companies, like PG&amp;E, to file a GRC for the CPUC to review as it determines future customer rates. Previously, PG&amp;E\u2019s GRC was filed every three years and did not include natural gas transmission and storage (GT&amp;S). Beginning in 2023, this review is on a four-year cycle and includes all costs associated with gas operations, electric distribution and generation operations in one proceeding.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPG&amp;E\u2019s GRC proposal includes approximately $7.4 billion in new investments from 2023-2026 to help keep customers safe and reduce the impacts of extreme weather and the threat of catastrophic wildfires. Wildfire safety investments include:\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Wildfire Safety<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nHardening power lines and placing more power lines underground to reduce wildfire risk, and installing sectionalizing devices to reduce the customer impacts and size of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS);\n<\/li>\n<li>\nTesting and using new tools and technologies to better pinpoint how to best prevent and respond to the increasing risk of wildfires;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nMeeting and exceeding state vegetation safety standards to manage trees and other vegetation located near power lines that could cause a wildfire or power outage;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nRemoving dead, dying and diseased trees that could strike overhead power lines;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nDeploying LiDAR technology and remote sensing data in extreme and elevated fire-risk areas to validate vegetation management work;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nUsing technology to detect downed power lines within minutes and respond and reducing the possibility of ignitions caused by PG&amp;E assets through detection of early stage equipment failures;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nPartnering with communities to enhance local electric grid resilience through community microgrid projects; and\n<\/li>\n<li>\nWorking with customers to remove overhead wires in remote high fire-threat areas, and replace with stand-alone power systems to offer a new approach to utility service.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAdditionally, PG&amp;E\u2019s GRC request includes significant investments to improve gas and electric system safety, reliability and resiliency; increase the use of new, innovative technologies; and expand the state\u2019s clean energy infrastructure. Critical energy investments include:\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Gas System Safety and Reliability <\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nReplacing 222.5 miles of distribution main pipeline in 2023 increasing to 245 miles in 2026;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nIncreasing the number of miles of gas transmission pipeline that can be inspected by state-of-the-art tools that run inside the pipeline to more than 69% of the system by the end of 2036;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nStrength testing or replacing approximately 174 miles of gas transmission pipe in the rate case period to reconfirm maximum allowable operating pressures and to assess integrity;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nEmploying advanced mobile leak detection and quantification technology to quickly find and fix gas leaks to improve safety and reduce methane emissions;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nTreating all gas odor calls as \u201cImmediate Response\u201d calls;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nContinuing to reduce the rate of third-party dig-ins around PG&amp;E underground electric and gas facilities through the Damage Prevention Program that supports safe third-party excavation by identifying the presence of underground facilities; and\n<\/li>\n<li>\nEnhancing safety by installing secondary overpressure protection devices, such as slam shuts, at gas distribution and gas transmission pilot-operated regulator stations.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Electric System Safety and Reliability <\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nReplacing a greater number of wood poles and infrastructure identified through PG&amp;E\u2019s Enhanced Inspection Program;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nAdding additional distribution protection device zones that reduce or mitigate the duration and number of customers impacted by electrical outages;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nImproving critical systems and communications networks to manage the growing number of devices on a more dynamic electric grid and protect it from cybersecurity threats;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nEnabling behind-the-meter distributed generation resources to better serve customer needs; and\n<\/li>\n<li>\nReplacing transformers in high-rise buildings with dry type units to minimize fire risk.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Clean Energy <\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nInvesting in electric distribution capacity upgrades to support customer at-home electric vehicle charging demand;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nInvesting in more electric vehicle charging infrastructure at PG&amp;E locations across its service area and adding over 1,000 electric vehicles to PG&amp;E\u2019s fleet by 2026;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nOperating and maintaining PG&amp;E\u2019s electric vehicle charging infrastructure;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nOperating the Elkhorn Battery Energy Storage System, a 183-megawatt storage system at the Moss Landing Substation in Monterey County;\n<\/li>\n<li>\nUprating the three units at Helms Pumped Storage Facility to increase the amount of clean, hydroelectric power that PG&amp;E can provide customers during peak periods, and help integrate additional intermittent renewable resources; and\n<\/li>\n<li>\nInvesting in projects to mitigate the risk of uncontrolled water release from its hydroelectric dams.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cOur most important responsibility is the safety of the customers and communities we serve. These investments will strengthen our electric system against wildfire and other environmental risks, and enhance gas and electric system safety, while reinforcing our commitment to provide even more clean, renewable energy for California. Delivering for our hometowns, meeting the diverse energy needs of our customers, and building the safe, reliable and clean energy future they deserve are the energy priorities we are determined to achieve,\u201d said Robert Kenney, PG&amp;E Vice President of Regulatory and External Affairs.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Open and Transparent Public Regulatory Process<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAs with any customer rates proposal by PG&amp;E, investments and expenditures are subject to open and transparent public review and approval by the CPUC. The CPUC thoroughly reviews PG&amp;E\u2019s rates proposals, including holding public hearings throughout the service area.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs part of this public process, PG&amp;E strongly encourages its customers to provide feedback and participate in public hearings to help determine the energy priorities and investments that will define California\u2019s energy future.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis four-year proposal does not include electric transmission costs, state-mandated Public Purpose Programs to support low-income customers and energy efficiency, or the actual commodity cost of gas and electricity. These costs are proposed through separate rate cases.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Customer Bill Impacts <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAny resulting rate changes from the GRC, if approved by the CPUC, would take effect sometime in 2023 following a final decision.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile the GRC is one component of a PG&amp;E bill, there are other filings that impact customer bills also. With these new safety, risk reduction, reliability improvements and clean energy investments as part of this GRC and other filings, the average residential customer bill is expected to increase about five percent annually, on average, from 2021 through 2026.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf the CPUC approves the proposed GRC investments in their entirety, the average monthly bill for a typical residential non-California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) electric and gas customer would increase in 2023 by about $1 a day and for CARE customers by about 80 cents a day.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are committed to improving the critical energy infrastructure that serves each of our 16 million customers, while also ensuring that energy remains as affordable as possible,\u201d Kenney said. \u201cWe know this is a significant request that comes at a pivotal time when many of our customers are struggling to recover from the pandemic. While we believe these investments are critical to meet the evolving energy needs of our communities and customers, we won\u2019t stop looking for additional ways to manage costs, and help customers use less energy and lower their bills.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Minimize Future Rate Impact and Operational Savings <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAs part of a companywide commitment to reduce future customer costs, PG&amp;E is proposing a series of cost-savings initiatives to help minimize the impact of future rate changes. Among these operational and cost-savings initiatives: selling surplus real estate and property, selling excess renewable energy, renegotiating power purchase agreements, and strategic sourcing and work planning.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditionally, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pge.com%2Fen%2Fabout%2Fnewsroom%2Fnewsdetails%2Findex.page%3Ftitle%3D20210202_as_part_of_its_focus_on_financial_health_and_customer_affordability_pge_agrees_to_973_million_sale_of_transmission_tower_wireless_licenses_to_sba_communications_corporation&amp;esheet=52453817&amp;newsitemid=20210630006036&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=PG%26amp%3BE+announced+the+sale+of+its+licensing+agreements&amp;index=2&amp;md5=370b0c2bbcea5d1d8a022f3d1dd45698\">PG&amp;E announced the sale of its licensing agreements<\/a> with wireless providers that attach their equipment to certain electric transmission towers and other utility structures, which is expected to generate more than $900 million.
