DESCRIPTION:In response to the drought intensified wildfire risk in PG&E’
 s service territory\, PG&E has developed the Enhanced Powerline Safety Set
 tings (EPSS) program as an additional layer of protection to reduce wildfi
 re ignition risk. In 2021\, PG&E began to pilot these new safety settings 
 and has since seen a significant reduction in California Public Utilities 
 Commission reportable-ignition. In 2022\, the program was expanded to all 
 circuits within the high fire risk areas of the service territory. In this
  presentation\, we will cover the program overview\, the technical backgro
 und\, how we continue to improve the effectiveness and highlight the oppor
 tunities we are taking to improve reliability and reduce customer impact.\
