WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PCG) or PG&E's senior vice president of regulatory affairs,Tom Bottorff, issued a statement regarding the California Public Utilities Commission's or CPUC proposed decision on the company's Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan.
Bottorff said that the company was disappointed in the proposed decision by the CPUC to partially fund the critical work needed to meet the state's new and more stringent safety standards. Now is the time to invest in a much-needed next generation of infrastructure upgrades to the state's and PG&E's vast network of gas transmission pipelines.
'Our proposed plan was designed to be as economical as possible while delivering a much higher level of public safety for decades to come. PG&E remains committed to getting this necessary work completed,' Bottorff said.
