PG&E Files 10-Year Plan to Bury 5,000 Miles of Power Lines

Oakland, Calif. – October 01, 2026 -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has filed a proposed 10-Year Electrical Undergrounding Plan (EUP) with the California Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety, projecting $117 billion in long-term benefits from burying 5,000 miles of distribution lines across more than 30 Northern and Central California counties between 2028 and 2037.

PG&E says moving lines underground in high fire-threat districts nearly eliminates ignition risk and cuts outages by 90% in those areas. The utility estimates the $117 billion in projected benefits is more than 10 times the value of the proposed investment.
