Recommendation for Legislative Action
To address the risks and hazards resulting from future unplanned outages, the Legislature should amend the shutoff reduction law to include circuits frequently de-energized as the result of utilities' power-line setting measures. In doing so, the Legislature will create a requirement that utilities identify in their mitigation plans the circuits frequently de-energized as a result of their power-line setting measures and the improvements they have made or plan to make to those circuits.
