PG&E explains four‑screen project acceptance framework for selecting circuits
PG&E described a four‑screen framework used to determine eligibility (location + risk thresholds), compare undergrounding versus alternatives, scope projects on the ground, and prioritize confirmed projects by monetized risk reduction per mile while allowing portfolio adjustments for community impacts and cost recovery requirements.
The full story
PG&E presented a four‑screen project acceptance framework that determines how circuit segments move from eligibility to confirmed projects. In Screen 1 PG&E evaluates qualifying location (HFTD tier 2/3 or fire rebuild) and at least one risk threshold (high risk per‑mile, ignition tail, or high‑frequency outage). Screen 2 is a desktop comparison of undergrounding and feasible alternatives (overhead hardening, remote grid, hybrids) using present‑value benefits and lifetime costs.
