California法案试图在停电和成本问题中加快旧金山公用事业接管PG&E资产的速度。 California bill seeks to speed San Francisco’s public utility takeover of PG&E assets amid blackout and cost concerns.

加利福尼亚州参议员斯科特·维纳(Scott Wiener)提出的参议院第875号法案旨在简化获取PG&E基础设施的程序,从而简化旧金山建立公有公用事业的途径。 Senate Bill 875, introduced by California Senator Scott Wiener, seeks to streamline San Francisco’s path to establishing a publicly owned utility by simplifying the process to acquire PG&E’s infrastructure. 该法案旨在减少监管拖延,确定明确的期限,并限制阻碍以往努力的法律挑战。 The bill aims to reduce regulatory delays, set clear deadlines, and limit legal challenges that have stalled previous efforts. 其原因是多次停电,包括2025年12月一次重大停电,对高电率和不可靠服务日益感到沮丧。 It comes after repeated blackouts, including a major December 2025 outage, and growing frustration over high electricity rates and unreliable service. 立法将赋予城市权力,使其能够利用公有领域,将公共利益置于公司利润之上,尽管PG & E认为这种过渡不会降低成本,而且可以将野火相关费用转嫁给其余客户。 The legislation would empower cities to use eminent domain and prioritize public interest over corporate profit, though PG&E argues such transitions would not lower costs and could shift wildfire-related expenses to remaining customers. 该法案现已提交委员会,截止期限是2026年8月底。 The bill now moves to committee, with a deadline to pass by late August 2026.
