Department Overview

Years of drought, extreme heat, and 129 million dead trees have created a “new normal” in California that requires PG&E to change its approach to how it designs and operates the electric system. Extreme weather events driven by climate change are causing unprecedented wildfires. As a result, PG&E launched the Community Wildfire Safety Program (CWSP) to reduce wildfire threats and strengthen communities for the future. The company is bolstering wildfire prevention and emergency response efforts, putting in place new and enhanced safety measures, and hardening its electric system to help reduce wildfire risks and keep customers safe. A key tool in the CWSP portfolio is the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) Team, designed to de-energize portions of PG&E’s system during extreme weather conditions, to mitigate the risk of catastrophic fire.

 

Position Summary

This year PG&E is continuing to enhance the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) process, a critical tool in which lines are de-energized during times of extreme fire danger to prevent utility ignitions. The PSPS Team is responsible for successfully executing de-energization events. This includes determining potential event scope, developing tools to assist with decision making, overall process development and refinement, and pre-planning and coordination across all teams involved in a PSPS event.

Preparing for PSPS events is a significant effort as PG&E works in partnership with its customers, regulatory entities, civic leaders, and community leaders to reduce wildfire threats. The dedicated Project Management Office (PMO) works to effectively manage PSPS readiness across workstreams, and oversees a number of activities, including: 

1. PSPS Program design and decision making processes
2. PSPS regulatory compliance reporting
3. PSPS Restoration strategy
4. Training for and execution of PSPS events within the Emergency Operations Center environment
5. Stakeholder engagement

 

Each workstream includes numerous specific initiatives with the common goal of preparing for and successfully executing PSPS events. Members of the PMO team are responsible for leading the overall PSPS work across all workstreams, monitoring progress, handling resourcing needs including providing additional resources when needed, and directing workstreams as issues arise.
