Pacific Gas and Electric Company

Oakland – October 30, 2026 -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has become the first energy utility in the world to earn accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP), after meeting all 73 of the body's emergency management standards with zero nonconformances.

The independent, internationally recognized third-party accreditation covers preparedness, response and recovery. PG&E serves more than 16 million customers in Northern and Central California.

PG&E joins only three other private-sector organizations with EMAP accreditation

Amtrak and the District of Columbia Water & Sewer Authority are among the other accredited organizations. EMAP-accredited programs span state, local and international emergency management organizations, plus a small number of entities outside traditional government agencies. PG&E's accreditation extends that reach to the energy utility industry for the first time.

Oakland, Calif. – October 01, 2026 -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has filed a proposed 10-Year Electrical Undergrounding Plan (EUP) with the California Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety, projecting $117 billion in long-term benefits from burying 5,000 miles of distribution lines across more than 30 Northern and Central California counties between 2028 and 2037.

Undergrounding cuts wildfire ignition risk by 98% in targeted zones

PG&E says moving lines underground in high fire-threat districts nearly eliminates ignition risk and cuts outages by 90% in those areas. The utility estimates the $117 billion in projected benefits is more than 10 times the value of the proposed investment.
