This section was moved from Camp Fire (2018)#PG&E bankruptcy, so this narrative focuses on the point of view of the wildfire victims. However, there are narratives from other points of view, including:
Perhaps this subject deserves its own article, being notable because this bankruptcy was the largest utility bankruptcy in U.S. history, [1] and was one of the most complex in U.S. history. [2]

The title of this page is "Pacific Gas and Electric Company" but the sidebar info is for "PG&E Corporation". There is no page dedicated to "PG&E Corporation". Compare this with another IOU " Southern California Edison" which clearly states it is a subsidiary of " Edison International". The page abbreviates "Pacific Gas and Electric Company" as PG&E leading the reader to assume that every fact about PG&E relates to "Pacific Gas and Electric Company" not "PG&E Corporation".
For example: "In December 2011, the non-partisan organization Public Campaign criticized PG&E for spending $79 million on lobbying and not paying any taxes ..." is referring to PG&E Corporation not "Pacific Gas and Electric Company".
I came here after hearing about the $50M bonus for the CEO of PG&E Corporation. Recalling the regulated utility was a subsidiary of the Corp and I wanted to know more about those details. I.e. does the utility own the transmission lines or the corp?
I would like to suggest using the terminology from the latest bankruptcy ( https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/pge/). Referring to the entities as either PG&E Corporation ("PG&E Corp."), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the "Utility"; or together with PG&E Corp. as "PG&E"). Depending on what the facts or narrative applies to. Pastel Abyss ( talk) 04:12, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
what sources of information are available to the person who would try to produce a good-enough approximation of the (presumably) proprietary actual pipeline map of PG&E? diameter of pipe, when built, who built the tubes, specs of compressors and so on?
came here to learn about it, but no luck. Nowakki ( talk) 22:56, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
