It's also possible that is not feasible to do all that maintenance work and still keep the rates at what they are now. Until now, PG&E made believe like they were maintaining and state officials made believe that Californians were paying a market rate for power. Apparently they have to maintain an area roughly twice the size of Portugal https://www.pge.com/en_US/about-pge/company-information/profile/profile.page https://www.pge.com/en_US/about-pge/company-information/prof... in all kinds of terrain.
So now CA state will probably take over and do something with liabilities.
