(Reuters) – PG&E Corp <PCG.N>, the electricity provider in the northern California region ravaged by a deadly wildfire, said it was searching for new directors at its holding company and its utility subsidiary Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
A deadly wildfire in California in November has all but obliterated the mountain community of Paradise. While the cause of the fire is still being investigated, PG&E had reported equipment problems near the origin of the fire around the time it began.
PG&E said it is working with a leading search firm to identify new directors and is interviewing several candidates.
