All three of California’s major utilities want SDG&E to recover costs from several 2007 wildfires, possibly helping lay the groundwork for similar claims. The CPUC is scheduled to consider that case this week, though the San Diego Union-Tribune notes it is possible a decision will be delayed.
The case is making headlines as PG&E’s possible role in last month’s wildfire is now under scrutiny. Earlier this month, the utility in a legal filing shifted blame to third-party equipment, though the cause is still under investigation.
