Fostering collaboration to minimize wildfire risks.
Six leading utilities across fifteen states committed to minimizing wildfire risks associated with electric utilities.
Another catastrophic event – that could be prevented – will have compounding negative consequences for all.
The Problem
Catastrophic wildfires are becoming more prevalent and more costly. What recent wildfires have shown is that the impact on an electric utility is significant and far-reaching.
As wildfire risks are increasing, so too is the complexity of obtaining affordable liability insurance and safeguarding credit ratings. It is now imperative for every electric utility, big or small, to have a strategic and operational plan to address and manage the risk associated with wildfires.
What We Are Doing
Leading electric utilities and industry associations are spearheading the development of best practices in wildfire risk mitigation, embarking on an educational mission to inform utilities and key stakeholders new to this challenge.
