The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will host public briefings for the electric investor-owned utilities to present to the CPUC and the public on their Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program and events in 2022. The electric utilities will provide updates on their efforts and coordination with public safety partners, critical infrastructure and facilities, and customers, including those most vulnerable or with access and functional needs in 2022. The utilities will present on efforts to mitigate customer impacts and will identify changes to processes or operations in 2023 based on lessons learned.

WHEN: April 18, 2023, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

WHY: The CPUC is requiring electric utilities to publicly present on their PSPS program and events in 2022. The CPUC oversees the utilities’ execution of PSPS events and has been driving the utilities to improve in response to lessons learned from previous PSPS events. The electric utilities submitted 2022 PSPS Post Season reports to the CPUC on March 1, 2023. The reports detailed their 2022 efforts regarding community resource centers, public safety partners, education and outreach, medical baseline, access and functional needs program, and notifications.
