Utility Regulation & Resilience
Earn the revenue regulators allow, report service reliability truthfully, meet the safety and infrastructure protection duties specific to utilities, and prepare the network and workforce for storms, wildfire and a changing climate. The general compliance, risk and crisis programs sit elsewhere.

- BC-1580.10Rate Case & Price ControlMake the case for the revenue the utility needs to run and invest, win approval from the PUC, PSC or regulator, and turn the decision into tariffs and tracked commitments.
- BC-1580.20Network Reliability ReportingReport how often and how long customers lose supply, using index definitions the regulator sets, so reliability is visible, comparable and tied to targets and incentives.
- BC-1580.30Pipeline & Dam Safety ComplianceKeep gas pipelines and water and hydroelectric dams within safety regulations, with integrity programs, inspections and records that prove it to the safety regulator.
- BC-1580.40Critical Infrastructure Protection ComplianceMeet the mandatory protection standards that apply to bulk power, gas and water systems, by classifying covered assets, applying required controls and keeping audit-ready evidence.
- BC-1580.50Major Event Preparedness & Mutual AidGet ready for storms and other major events before they arrive, bring in outside crews when needed, give customers credible restoration estimates and recover the cost afterward.
- BC-1580.60Wildfire & Climate Risk MitigationReduce the chance that utility equipment starts a wildfire, de-energize lines safely when risk is extreme, and invest so the network withstands heat, flood and storms in a changing climate.
