SAN RAMON, Calif. — California regulators are stepping up their oversight of Pacific Gas & Electric after finding that the nation's largest utility has neglected the maintenance of an electrical grid that has ignited a series of deadly wildfires in Northern California and forced periodic blackouts affecting millions of people.
The reprimand delivered Thursday in an unanimous vote of California's Public Utilities Commission served as official notice to PG&E that it hasn't been doing enough to reduce the risks from a combination of crumbling equipment and overgrown trees susceptible to toppling into nearby power lines.
