ABOUT

About Resilient Together

Understanding how climate hazards and energy service disruptions intersect with individual safety, community resilience, and adaptive capacity is crucial to PG&E's investment in a climate resilient energy system. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has directed each of the state’s investor-owned utilities (including PG&E) to develop a Climate Adaptation and  Vulnerability Assessment (CAVA). 

Resilient Together is an initiative by PG&E to learn about how communities across California are impacted by extreme heat, flooding and sea-level rise, and wildfires, and other climate hazards. PG&E looks forward to working with all community members, and the organizations that represent them, to understand how to better meet their energy needs and keep communities safe.

PG&E’s goals are:

  • Learn how PG&E’s climate-vulnerable customers are experiencing the impacts of increasingly frequent and severe climate-driven hazards and understand how PG&E might contribute to customer resilience.

  • Share information with the communities PG&E serves about how climate change is expected to impact the resilience of the energy system, and programs and resources currently available to support customers.

  • Foster long-term relationships and build trust with the communities served by PG&E by engaging, collaborating, and sharing ownership of the process, to ensure meaningful community involvement for this immediate project and into the future.

Partners

PG&E is grateful to be working with the partners below in the Resilient Together Initiative. Regional community engagement in each of PG&E’s five service regions is led by a Regional Engagement Lead (REL), along with a group of 8-10 community based organizations, or Resilient Together Advisor Groups (RTAGs), that conduct direct outreach to clients and communities.

To bring us closer to our customers and help address issues more efficiently and effectively at the local level, we are implementing a Regional Service Model.

We have established five regions by grouping together communities with similar operational, risk, and safety profiles to improve our operations. We call this regionalization or our Regional Service Model.

See below for a map of the new regions and the corresponding counties served.
