Supporting Our Customers 144 0 Kommentare PG&E Providing More Community Resources for Public Safety Power Shutoffs This Year - Seite 2

We are continuing to make our system safer and more resilient to reduce PSPS events for our customers and communities. There is no single solution to wildfire safety, which is why we are continuing to evolve and improve all our wildfire safety programs including:

Meeting and exceeding state vegetation standards across 1,800 miles to manage trees and other vegetation located near power lines that could cause a wildfire or power outage.
Continuing to upgrade the electric grid by hardening at least 180 miles of power lines to reduce wildfire risks.
Installing 250 sectionalizing devices to narrow the scope of PSPS events so fewer customers are without power.
Piloting new technologies that detect threats to the electric grid and rapidly reduce or shut off power thus reducing the need for larger PSPS events.
Employing new risk models to better pinpoint our wildfire safety prevention efforts.
