PG&E Corp. will file for bankruptcy in California after the cost of wildfires.<\/p>\n

General counsel John Simon will take the helm in the meantime. The departure of Williams, who took over as CEO in March 2017, follows a catastrophic three months for PG&E.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The company has seen more than three-quarters of its market value wiped out since November\u2019s Camp fire \u2014 the\u00a0deadliest wildfire in California\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Its debt has been downgraded to junk status and state regulators have called for a management shakeup.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s deepening financial crisis has forced California regulators and policymakers to consider a bailout package. The utility said bankruptcy was the best way forward for employees and those who are claiming losses from wildfires that may have been caused by its power lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“While PG&E announced its intent to file bankruptcy today, the company should continue to honor promises made to energy suppliers and to our community,\u201d Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, former CEO Williams is likely to walk away with millions of dollars in cash. Her departure was announced Sunday, hours before the company said it was notifying workers it could file for bankruptcy within weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
