The judge overseeing the aftermath of PG&E Corp.’s 2016 safety-related felony conviction has found the company violated the terms of its probation by failing to fully disclose an investigation into the utility’s role in a 2017 California wildfire.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup stopped short of imposing additional penalties on PG&E, which recently filed for bankruptcy with counsel from Cravath, Swaine & Moore. But the judge did say he was considering a number of potential additional restrictions, including ordering it to comply with California regulations regarding clearing brush from power lines, or forcing the utility to power down during threatening weather conditions.
