Monday's peak demand was 49,020 megawatts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elliot Mainzer, president of California Independent System Operators, which runs the state's electrical grid, said the state has additional energy capacity at the moment “but blackouts, rolling, rotating outages, are a possibility.” Mainzer called additional conservation “absolutely essential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CAISO site Tuesday morning showed that California could fall more than 5,000 megawatts short of its power supply at peak demand, forecasted for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, CAISO said it expected to declare an Energy Emergency Alert 3 around 5:30 p.m., a procedural move that puts it one step away from ordering rotating power outages. If power reserves are exhausted, the power grid operator says it will order utilities like PG&E to begin rotating outages until the demand meets available supplies.\u003cbr>\nPG&E had more than 12,000 customers reporting outages around the Bay Area as of shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday, including more than 8,200 in the East Bay, utility spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/danbrekke/status/1567222501587173377\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov.

Both are in effect through Friday, September 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians have stepped up in a big way during this record heat wave, but with the hottest temperatures here now, the risk of outages is real. We all have to double down on conserving energy to reduce the unprecedented strain on the grid,” said Newsom. “We need everyone — individuals, businesses, the state and energy producers — to do their part in the coming days and help California continue to meet this challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1567198723746443266\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's energy grid runs on a mix of mostly solar and natural gas during the day, along with some imports of power from other states. But solar power begins to fall off during the late afternoon and into the evening, which is the hottest time of day in some parts of the state. And some of the aging natural gas plants California relies on for backup power aren't as reliable in hot weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At CAISO's request on Monday, four temporary emergency power generators deployed by the Department of Water Resources in Roseville and Yuba City were activated for the first time since they were installed last year, providing up to 120 megawatts, enough electricity for 120,000 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CAISO also has issued a Flex Alert call for voluntary conservation between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tuesday, making seven alerts in as many days. Consumers were urged to keep air conditioners at 78 degrees or higher during the period and avoid using major appliances such as ovens and dishwashers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11924772\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11924772\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"sun shines through electric tower\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/GettyImages-1242997343-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The sun shines behind electrical power lines during a heat wave in Hawthorne.

Closures lasting days or weeks have ceased to be a rarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last school year, state records showed, wildfires and related outages and smoke pollution sent home more than 1.1 million of the state’s 6 million or so public school students, a record. Four months into this school year, fires and preventative blackouts already have forced closures in at least 34 counties, according to a separate database CalMatters built to track this year’s fire impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]Just four months into the school year, fire-related blackouts and evacuations have already canceled 15 days of instruction in the community of Geyserville.[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sweep — surpassing the 29 counties in which schools closed for fire and related issues last year — is also a new record, driven in part by the liability concerns of utilities such as Pacific Gas & Electric, which are increasingly powering down during red flag conditions. In Sonoma County, for example, even before classes dismissed for Thanksgiving, fire-related blackouts and evacuations had already canceled 15 days of instruction in the community of Geyserville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Missed school \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/publication/student-absenteeism-who-misses-school-and-how-missing-school-matters-for-performance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">correlates strongly\u003c/a> with lower academic performance, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.attendanceworks.org/data-matters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">host of academic research\u003c/a>. And school days lost to disaster differ from the benign absences of, say, a snow day in the Sierra or on the East Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The experience of anxiety and trauma that are associated with the fire days is very different,” said John Rogers, professor of education at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Rogers noted that disruptions at the start of a school year are particularly costly, and that days off for disaster come as a result of upheaval, fear, flight and loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Natural disasters can generate \u003ca href=\"https://www.educationnext.org/defense-snow-days/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">long-term trauma among children\u003c/a>, impacting both mental health and academic progress. Researchers who tracked students displaced by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.nber.org/papers/w14385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">test scores dropped dramatically\u003c/a> in the years after those disasters; after Katrina, college enrollment rates among displaced suburban students fell by 3.5 percentage points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Lake County community of Middletown, where students have now lost a cumulative 34 days of instruction over the past four years due to fires and power shutoffs, the disasters have had a significant academic impact. After the 2015 Valley Fire, the proportion of graduating seniors in the Middletown Unified district deemed by the state to be “college and career ready” fell from about 50% to 27.5%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='wildfires' label='California Wildfires']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Poverty exacerbates that.

Of the nearly 132,000 students who, by CalMatters’ estimate, have lost a week or more of school this year to outages and wildfires, more than half — 52.6% — rely on free or reduced-price school meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not only the [school] lunch services, but you have to think about the additional types of services that flow through schools, be it mental health services, be it school nurses,” said Kevin Gee, an associate professor at UC Davis who researches the health and educational outcomes of students in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Increasingly, schools are responsible for ensuring the overall well-being of students, so those lost instructional days mean that kids aren’t necessarily being engaged in those services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lose-lose Situation for Schools\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11790209\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11790209\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DISASTER-DAYS-PART-3-photo-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"908\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DISASTER-DAYS-PART-3-photo-2-1.jpg 1280w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DISASTER-DAYS-PART-3-photo-2-1-160x114.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DISASTER-DAYS-PART-3-photo-2-1-800x568.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DISASTER-DAYS-PART-3-photo-2-1-1020x724.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/DISASTER-DAYS-PART-3-photo-2-1-1200x851.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond and Gov.

Eighty-two schools in six counties have accumulated four weeks of lost school time since 2015.

Once a fire burns through the ceiling and roof, it's ventilated, and can spread even more rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Emergency Access — In and Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's not just the size of the mobile home that creates unique conditions for first responders. The layout of mobile home parks plays a role, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mobile home park owners try to maximize the space used for lots, which bring in revenue. That typically means homes are placed closer together than usual, another factor in the spread of fires, and roads are narrow. During Colorado winters, piles of plowed snow mean even less space for firefighters to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without designated parking, some residents or visitors park on the already-narrow roads or sidewalks, adding to the accessibility issues for firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a continual issue where we're having to go into mobile home parks and speak with management about the designated parking,\" Cobb said. \"Moving emergency equipment around a mobile home park can be very difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is limited fire hydrant access, that lack of emergency access can further impede firefighters' ability to quickly extinguish a blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe DiSalvo, a firefighter and shift inspector for the Evans Fire Protection District, said Evans firefighters found themselves in a similar situation a little more than 15 years ago. There was one single fire hydrant to an entire mobile home park, he said. To reach the fire, they had to lay out more than 1,000 feet of hose, slowing down their response and reducing the amount of water they had available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, they managed to keep the fire contained and there were no injuries, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The floor plan of mobile homes can make escape from a fire difficult, according to Cobb. Though mobile homes are required to have at least two exterior doors, a fire can easily block the main path for someone in a bedroom, which is typically located farther from exits than other rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Code requires that all bedrooms have escape windows, but it's rare for residents to test them out, Cobb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rusted or painted window could block a resident's last chance for escape. People have a natural instinct to exit the same way they entered, even in an emergency, Cobb said, meaning they might not think to escape out the window until it's too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Evolving Improvements\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 1976 HUD standards made such a difference on the rate of fire deaths that the National Fire Protection Association determined the death rate would drop well below the rate for other one- or two-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those in the industry say the standards set a high bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The HUD Code meets or exceeds the quality and safety standards for site-built homes,\" Lesli Gooch, executive vice president of advocacy and communications for the Manufactured Housing Institute, said in a statement. \"We encourage homeowners to review and follow safety tips from their local fire marshal's office as they are generally applicable to both off-site and on-site built homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the HUD standards, which underwent two revisions in the 90s, other improvements are making newer homes and parks more fire safe than ever before. DiSalvo said newer parks tend to have streets with curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and the proximity of the trailers to each other has grown relative to older parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cobb and DiSalvo both said the departments get involved with the cities' extensive planning processes, giving them an opportunity to guide developers to more fire-safe communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it would be ideal to go in to pre-standard homes and enforce all the updated building codes and fire codes to the letter of the law, Cobb said it's necessary to balance those concerns with the need for affordable housing. To prevent fires, he said, it takes a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fire safety and community safety, it becomes the responsibility of everybody,\" he said. \"Whether it be the city, fire department, building department ... park management (or) the occupants.\"\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Fires present a particular danger for people living in mobile homes.

With the frame of the home up off the ground, and the utilities ran underneath the home, there is a greater risk of exposure not only to the cold, he explained, but also to animals that may chew on wiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even for mobile homes manufactured after 1976, unique fire risks still remain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smaller average room and overall sizes can speed up fire growth, according to a study by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nfpa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Fire Protection Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With less time from the moment a fire is located at a specific source to the moment a fire fully involves every combustible object in a room, that can mean less time for residents to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When in a contained room, a fire raises temperatures at the ceiling level to more than 1000 degrees, Cobb said. Once a fire burns through the ceiling and roof, it's ventilated, and can spread even more rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Emergency Access — In and Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's not just the size of the mobile home that creates unique conditions for first responders. The layout of mobile home parks plays a role, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mobile home park owners try to maximize the space used for lots, which bring in revenue. That typically means homes are placed closer together than usual, another factor in the spread of fires, and roads are narrow. During Colorado winters, piles of plowed snow mean even less space for firefighters to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without designated parking, some residents or visitors park on the already-narrow roads or sidewalks, adding to the accessibility issues for firefighters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a continual issue where we're having to go into mobile home parks and speak with management about the designated parking,\" Cobb said. \"Moving emergency equipment around a mobile home park can be very difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is limited fire hydrant access, that lack of emergency access can further impede firefighters' ability to quickly extinguish a blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe DiSalvo, a firefighter and shift inspector for the Evans Fire Protection District, said Evans firefighters found themselves in a similar situation a little more than 15 years ago. There was one single fire hydrant to an entire mobile home park, he said. To reach the fire, they had to lay out more than 1,000 feet of hose, slowing down their response and reducing the amount of water they had available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, they managed to keep the fire contained and there were no injuries, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The floor plan of mobile homes can make escape from a fire difficult, according to Cobb. Though mobile homes are required to have at least two exterior doors, a fire can easily block the main path for someone in a bedroom, which is typically located farther from exits than other rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Code requires that all bedrooms have escape windows, but it's rare for residents to test them out, Cobb said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rusted or painted window could block a resident's last chance for escape. People have a natural instinct to exit the same way they entered, even in an emergency, Cobb said, meaning they might not think to escape out the window until it's too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Evolving Improvements\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 1976 HUD standards made such a difference on the rate of fire deaths that the National Fire Protection Association determined the death rate would drop well below the rate for other one- or two-family homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those in the industry say the standards set a high bar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The HUD Code meets or exceeds the quality and safety standards for site-built homes,\" Lesli Gooch, executive vice president of advocacy and communications for the Manufactured Housing Institute, said in a statement. \"We encourage homeowners to review and follow safety tips from their local fire marshal's office as they are generally applicable to both off-site and on-site built homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the HUD standards, which underwent two revisions in the 90s, other improvements are making newer homes and parks more fire safe than ever before. DiSalvo said newer parks tend to have streets with curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and the proximity of the trailers to each other has grown relative to older parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cobb and DiSalvo both said the departments get involved with the cities' extensive planning processes, giving them an opportunity to guide developers to more fire-safe communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it would be ideal to go in to pre-standard homes and enforce all the updated building codes and fire codes to the letter of the law, Cobb said it's necessary to balance those concerns with the need for affordable housing. To prevent fires, he said, it takes a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fire safety and community safety, it becomes the responsibility of everybody,\" he said. \"Whether it be the city, fire department, building department ... park management (or) the occupants.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11774414/fire-can-be-risky-deadly-drawback-of-living-in-mobile-homes","authors":["byline_news_11774414"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_6266","news_8"],"tags":["news_3921","news_19542","news_4462","news_1775","news_4652","news_4463"],"featImg":"news_11774416","label":"source_news_11774414"},"news_11766638":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11766638","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11766638","score":null,"sort":[1565393155000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"state-workplace-regulators-cite-firm-in-s-f-gas-pipeline-explosion","title":"State Workplace Regulators Cite Firm in S.F.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it today, less than a week after the first elected official cleared his throat to introduce the package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It didn’t set a legislative land-speed record, of course, but some lawmakers did complain that they lacked sufficient time to read and digest such a complex document. What’s the rush? Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Isn’t this just a bailout for California’s big utilities?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Kinda. One way to look at it is that the financial health of ratepayers, wildfire victims and utilities are intertwined. The first two groups need utility companies to maintain a beating heart in order to stave off higher electricity bills or to prevent being left high and dry after a utility-caused fire. So there’s some mutual self-interest at work here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law sets a June 30, 2020 deadline for the state’s largest utility—Pacific Gas & Electric—to emerge from bankruptcy, and requires that it settle with victims from 2017-2018 fires it caused before it can participate in other aspects of the state plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That timeframe was meant for an audience of one: Dennis Montali, the San Francisco judge presiding over PG&E’s bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy proceedings are notoriously thorny and can drag on for years. Lawmakers are hoping that the judge will see the law as providing the possibility of resolution and a way forward for the state’s largest utility—and thus accelerate the legal process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other unseen but loudly heard players here are the ratings agencies, which threatened to downgrade the credit scores for Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. That would make it much more expensive for those companies to borrow money, a cost they would pass on to their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as much as some legislators may have wanted to roundly punish bad actors among California’s electricity providers, they were mindful that even a slap on the wrist to utilities could have the unintended impact of a punch in the nose to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about the wildfire victims’ fund? How does that work?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Actually the companies can choose between two proposed options. In either case, fire victims are compensated by the utilities, via the fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called a liquidity fund, and it establishes a $10.5 billion line of credit for utilities to draw from to cover fire costs that exceed their insurance coverage. If the company is later found to have improperly operated its equipment, it must pay back the amount it took out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second option is called an insurance fund. The fund will hold at least $21 billion, with half coming from the utilities and half from ratepayers from an existing state fund. (Ratepayers have been kicking in $2.50 a month for the fund, an amount that was set to expire.) Utilities will pay into the insurance fund according to a rough calculation of their liability and safety history: PG&E will be on the hook for about 60%, Southern California Edison about 30% and San Diego Gas and Electric, which has a comparatively better safety record, will be responsible for about 4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is barred from participating in either fund until it emerges from bankruptcy and all companies must comply with other requirements such as linking executive compensation to their firm’s safety record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utility companies have about two weeks to declare which fund they want to be part of, and the big three must agree. The state assumes they will select the insurance fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Will this pot of money help wildfire victims?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, $21 billion is a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But keep in mind that, given the ever-increasing frequency, size, intensity, and destructiveness of fires in California, the price tag to make victims whole is likewise exploding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider, too, that PG&E alone estimates its liability for the most recent fires is in the neighborhood of $30 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s an open question how long even a fund as large as that will remain intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What does any of this have to do with preventing or containing fires?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, it seems as if there’s a lot about liability and bankruptcy but not much that speaks to the business of preventing or putting out wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law requires the three big investor-owned companies to spend $5 billion to fireproof their equipment. They had already pledged to spend $3 billion in that effort, and that work can have a real impact. That’s things like insulating transmission and distribution lines, clearing trees and brush around equipment, replacing wooden power poles with steel or composite ones and placing protective covering over some infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that’s a big deal because so-called utility hardening projects can make it less likely that animals, wind, or tree limbs will interfere with power equipment and spark fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, for the first time, the state is requiring utilities obtain a safety certification, setting a standard for safe and responsible operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, lawmakers have indicated they intend to come back with a handful of other bills that more specifically respond to the underlying fire issues of vegetation and tree clearance, community fire safety, and other more-direct fire causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And legislators added a clever caveat: Even though utilities regularly pass on the actual cost of capital expenditures and 11% or more to their customers, this law specifically states that the companies may NOT turn a profit from spending $5 billion on fire mitigation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11760156,news_11760106,forum_2010101871786' label='RELATED STORIES']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What else?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>About that safety certification…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some critics warn that the certificate is a “get out of jail free card” for utilities. It sets a standard for a “prudent operator” and affords a presumption that if a company received the rating, its operations are generally safe and prudent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have heard the awkward term “inverse condemnation,” which means that California utilities are held responsible if their equipment causes a fire, even if they did not act negligently. That rule is in the state constitution and no one in Sacramento wants to take that on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However…utilities get a little relief in the new law. Before this week, electric utilities blamed for fires had to show that they managed their system properly and safely. The law now flips the burden of proof to advocates and victims groups to show that a utility acted unreasonably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Is this a utilities bailout?

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it today, less than a week after the first elected official cleared his throat to introduce the package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It didn’t set a legislative land-speed record, of course, but some lawmakers did complain that they lacked sufficient time to read and digest such a complex document. What’s the rush? Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Isn’t this just a bailout for California’s big utilities?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Kinda. One way to look at it is that the financial health of ratepayers, wildfire victims and utilities are intertwined. The first two groups need utility companies to maintain a beating heart in order to stave off higher electricity bills or to prevent being left high and dry after a utility-caused fire. So there’s some mutual self-interest at work here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law sets a June 30, 2020 deadline for the state’s largest utility—Pacific Gas & Electric—to emerge from bankruptcy, and requires that it settle with victims from 2017-2018 fires it caused before it can participate in other aspects of the state plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That timeframe was meant for an audience of one: Dennis Montali, the San Francisco judge presiding over PG&E’s bankruptcy case. Bankruptcy proceedings are notoriously thorny and can drag on for years. Lawmakers are hoping that the judge will see the law as providing the possibility of resolution and a way forward for the state’s largest utility—and thus accelerate the legal process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other unseen but loudly heard players here are the ratings agencies, which threatened to downgrade the credit scores for Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. That would make it much more expensive for those companies to borrow money, a cost they would pass on to their customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, as much as some legislators may have wanted to roundly punish bad actors among California’s electricity providers, they were mindful that even a slap on the wrist to utilities could have the unintended impact of a punch in the nose to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What about the wildfire victims’ fund? How does that work?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Actually the companies can choose between two proposed options. In either case, fire victims are compensated by the utilities, via the fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called a liquidity fund, and it establishes a $10.5 billion line of credit for utilities to draw from to cover fire costs that exceed their insurance coverage. If the company is later found to have improperly operated its equipment, it must pay back the amount it took out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second option is called an insurance fund. The fund will hold at least $21 billion, with half coming from the utilities and half from ratepayers from an existing state fund. (Ratepayers have been kicking in $2.50 a month for the fund, an amount that was set to expire.) Utilities will pay into the insurance fund according to a rough calculation of their liability and safety history: PG&E will be on the hook for about 60%, Southern California Edison about 30% and San Diego Gas and Electric, which has a comparatively better safety record, will be responsible for about 4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is barred from participating in either fund until it emerges from bankruptcy and all companies must comply with other requirements such as linking executive compensation to their firm’s safety record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utility companies have about two weeks to declare which fund they want to be part of, and the big three must agree. The state assumes they will select the insurance fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Will this pot of money help wildfire victims?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without question, $21 billion is a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But keep in mind that, given the ever-increasing frequency, size, intensity, and destructiveness of fires in California, the price tag to make victims whole is likewise exploding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider, too, that PG&E alone estimates its liability for the most recent fires is in the neighborhood of $30 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, it’s an open question how long even a fund as large as that will remain intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What does any of this have to do with preventing or containing fires?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, it seems as if there’s a lot about liability and bankruptcy but not much that speaks to the business of preventing or putting out wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law requires the three big investor-owned companies to spend $5 billion to fireproof their equipment. They had already pledged to spend $3 billion in that effort, and that work can have a real impact. That’s things like insulating transmission and distribution lines, clearing trees and brush around equipment, replacing wooden power poles with steel or composite ones and placing protective covering over some infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that’s a big deal because so-called utility hardening projects can make it less likely that animals, wind, or tree limbs will interfere with power equipment and spark fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, for the first time, the state is requiring utilities obtain a safety certification, setting a standard for safe and responsible operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, lawmakers have indicated they intend to come back with a handful of other bills that more specifically respond to the underlying fire issues of vegetation and tree clearance, community fire safety, and other more-direct fire causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And legislators added a clever caveat: Even though utilities regularly pass on the actual cost of capital expenditures and 11% or more to their customers, this law specifically states that the companies may NOT turn a profit from spending $5 billion on fire mitigation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11760156,news_11760106,forum_2010101871786","label":"RELATED STORIES "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What else?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>About that safety certification…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some critics warn that the certificate is a “get out of jail free card” for utilities. It sets a standard for a “prudent operator” and affords a presumption that if a company received the rating, its operations are generally safe and prudent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have heard the awkward term “inverse condemnation,” which means that California utilities are held responsible if their equipment causes a fire, even if they did not act negligently. That rule is in the state constitution and no one in Sacramento wants to take that on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However…utilities get a little relief in the new law.
