Re: Follow up to 01/30/2019 OSCHearing in Case No. 14-CR-00175-WHA

Dear Judge Alsup,

At the January 30,2019 hearing on the Order to Show Cause Why PG&E's Conditions ofProbation

Should Not Be Modified, the Court asked certain questions ofthe California Public Utilities

Commission (the "CPUC") and suggested the CPUC could follow up with a letter to provide more

detailed responses. The exchange occurred on page 91 ofthe reporter's transcript ofthe proceeding,

which we attach hereto as Exhibit 1 for your convenience.

In essence, your Honor asked four questions ofthe CPUC: 1) How many times has San Diego Gas &

Electric Co. ("SDG&E") de-energized in response to increased fire risk?, 2) Is it true there have been no

wildfires more than an acre large since SDG&E began its de-energization program?, 3) What has been

the public reaction to the de-energization program?, and 4) How have the inconveniences or other

negative consequences of de-energization been handled?

On January 31,2019, the CPUC sent a data request to SDG&E to gather certain information needed to

respond to the Court's inquiries. The CPUC's response to the Court is supplemented by information

obtained from SDG&E, as indicated below.

The following is not intended to capturethe full extent and breadth of a CPUC record that supports one

ofits final decisions or orders, nor does it reflect all ofthe factors and nuances that inform deenergizationdecisions by utilities, but is a good faith attempt to respond to the Court's questions in a

timely manner.
