PG&E and Local Public Entities Resolve 2015, 2017 and 2018 Wildfire Claims

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has reached agreements to resolve the wildfire claims held by 18 local public entities (cities, counties, districts and public agencies) impacted by the 2015 Butte Fire, 2017 Northern California wildfires and 2018 Camp Fire. Under the agreements, $1 billion in payments will be made as part of a Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization to be filed in PG&E's pending Chapter 11 case (POR).

"We remain focused on supporting our customers and the communities impacted by wildfires and helping them recover and rebuild. This is an important first step toward an orderly, fair and expeditious resolution of wildfire claims and a demonstration of our willingness to work collaboratively with stakeholders to achieve mutual acceptable resolutions. We hope to continue making progress with other stakeholders," said PG&E Corporation President and CEO Bill Johnson.

The payment of the settlement funds is subject to Bankruptcy Court confirmation of, and the occurrence of the effective date under, the POR, which will provide for the payment of the settlement funds to the local government agencies in full settlement and satisfaction of their wildfire claims. While the filing date of the POR with the Bankruptcy Court remains uncertain, PG&E intends to complete the Chapter 11 process as expeditiously as possible.

JAMS Mediator Judge Jay Gandhi (Ret.) presided over several days of in-person mediation sessions held in San Francisco that resulted in the settlement.

During the Chapter 11 process PG&E remains fully committed to enhancing its wildfire safety efforts, as well as helping to restore and rebuild communities impacted by the wildfires. The company is also committed to continuing to deliver safe and reliable natural gas and electric service to its customers every day.

The agreements with the public entities reflect a consensual resolution of their claims against PG&E for damages related to the wildfires. A list of the public entities is below.
