IT’S TIME TO GO UNDERGROUND!

In July 2021, PG&E announced its intention to underground approximately 10,000 miles of its above-ground electric distribution power lines that are located in areas at high risk of wildfire. Potentially costing upward of $20 billion, PG&E is committed to the utilization of qualified Minority, Women, Disabled Veteran, LGBT and PDBE certified firms on this historic initiative.
