📰 News we're reading

• When PG&E substations caught fire, inspectors had already raised red flags (times-standard.com) — State regulators recently flagged safety problems at a PG&E substation in Newark, including a rusted tower-support anchor, illegible gauges, and birds’ nests, raising concerns about local grid reliability. These findings are part of a broader pattern of maintenance issues across Bay Area substations, highlighted after two major substation fires caused massive outages and prompted calls for stronger oversight and accountability.
