Reporting live from interstate 580 in oakland, Amy Hollyfield. Big developments in the ongoing issues with pg e. A federal bankruptcy judge signing off in 24 billion in settlements. Liz kreutz is live with more on this huge step forward. Liz . Good morning. Yes. This judge signed off on two multibillion dollar plans that will be a key part of pg e being able to emerge from bankruptcy and do it potentially by the state imposed deadline of june 30th. Heres what the two plans would do. First and foremost, this plan is going to allow for 13 13. 5 billions that will compensate victims of the catastrophic fires blamed on pg es equipment. It a lots 11 billion to settle claims with insurers and investors. Included in all of this is that the governor must approve the overall bankruptcy plan. Whats significant about that, last week Governor Newsom rejected pg es Restructuring Plan saying it didnt comply with state law or do enough for the victims. Pg e was able to salvage the deal at the last minute by getting rid of a clause requiring the governors blessing for the settlement. Now they need approval for the overall plan. This should allow pg e to emerge from bankruptcy by june. We should point out when this announcement came, pg es stock went up by 13 , regaining all the ground they lost when newsom rejected the plan last week. Liz kreutz, abc7 news.
