California suffered from terrible wildfires in 2017 and 2018 which involved numerous deaths and destruction. PG&E powerlines were determined to have been the cause of these fires after high winds either caused the lines to fall or tree branches to strike the lines, causing them to catch fire. After originally denying that company equipment could have been to blame, PG&E later admitted that they had failed to cut trees in high-risk areas, thus causing at least two major wildfires.

PG&E filed for bankruptcy in January 2019.

When high winds were expected in October 2019, the company’s response was to simply turn off the power to millions of people in California. There was chaos for a time since the company’s website became overloaded and no detailed information was being given by PG&E.

This shutoff caused the governor of California and the citizens to demand action. PG&E’s response was that they might continue to turn off the power during times of high winds for up to 10 years.

California officials are considering a takeover of PG&E to avoid future blackouts and wildfires.

Company headquarters for Pacific Gas and Electric are located in San Francisco, California.
