arely more than a month after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) rejected a request by San Diego Gas & Electric to have ratepayers pick up $379 million in costs related to three deadly wildfires in 2007, the utility is not giving up.
Attorneys for SDG&E have filed an application with the CPUC, asking for a rehearing. “The CPUC’s decision to deny recovery of expenses related to the 2007 wildfires is unsupported by the evidence, violates the CPUC’s own prudent manager standard and deprives the company of its due process,” SDG&E communications manager Allison Torres said in an email.
