PG&E, SCE and SDG&E urge assessments that prioritize learning and avoid duplication with CPUC
Summary
Utility presenters told Energy Safety they support strengthening SCAs but want alignment with the CPUC process, consistent definitions, and assessment approaches that prioritize effectiveness and organizational learning rather than metrics-driven comparisons.
Representatives from PG&E, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric said they support Energy Safety's goal of continuous improvement but urged coordination to avoid duplicate data collection and workforce fatigue as the CPUC launches its own safety-culture assessment.
Elizabeth Peters (SDG&E) said assessments should drive learning and improvements, not be limited to metrics: "We use these assessments to truly drive improvements across each of our respective businesses." Bill Malone (PG&E) and Ashley Simpson (SCE) echoed the need to focus on effectiveness — whether corrective actions and reporting systems lead to learning and reduced recurrence — and recommended triangulating self-assessments with performance data and independent validation.
