Bill overview
This bill aims to expedite the undergrounding of electrical infrastructure in California, particularly in high-risk areas like wildfire zones. It establishes a program requiring large electrical corporations to submit detailed undergrounding plans to the state, which will then be reviewed by the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety and the Public Utilities Commission. The bill also mandates ongoing monitoring and reporting to ensure compliance and aims to leverage state and federal funding to reduce costs for ratepayers.
