RICHMOND, Calif. – The Richmond City Council on Tuesday night passed a resolution urging California to cut ties with PG&E.

The resolution calls on the state to replace the utility company as California’s main power supplier, citing PG&E’s contributions to wildfires, shut-offs and rate hikes and reasons for the proposed split.

Councilmembers said they support a nonprofit called Golden State Energy to take over.

“We’re saying that ‘We, the city of Richmond, stand behind implementation of something already in place,’” Councilwoman Doria Robinson said.

The letter of support will now be sent to a number of state leaders including Gov. Gavin Newsom.
