• Proposal targets about 5,000 miles of distribution lines moved underground from 2028-2037, mainly in high wildfire-risk areas.
• PG&E forecasts 98% lower ignition risk, 90% fewer outages on undergrounded lines, long-term benefits valued at $117 billion.
• Energy Safety will assess reliability gains, wildfire-risk reduction; PG&E would seek CPUC conditional cost approval if the plan clears review.
