The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will begin the process to add a new area code to the area currently served by the 530 area code, as the 530 area code is expected to be depleted of prefixes by September 2025.

The new area code will be introduced on top of the 530 area code using the overlay method. Overlay means that people with existing 530 area code phone numbers will keep those. Any new numbers would be given the new area code thus "overlaying" the existing numbers. Rather than having regions split geographically for assigning new area codes, old and new area codes will be intermixed throughout the service area. The new area code to overlay the 530 area codes is 837.

The North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) will be filing an application with the CPUC on behalf of the telecommunications industry to request the CPUC approve an overlay area code for the 530 area code region to provider additional numbering resources for the region.

The 530 area code serv…

PG&E is a Program Administrator of the statewide Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), which is providing financial incentives for Medical Baseline customers installing new, qualifying equipment for storing energy for their homes.

The SGIP Equity Resiliency incentive is designed to allow customers to install a home battery storage system at no cost to them. In July 2020, PG&E was approved for the SGIP Marketing Education and Outreach Plan and Financial Assistance pilot, both of which are specifically focused on supporting Medical Baseline customers in High Fire Threat Districts (HFTD). The Financial Assistance pilot alleviates the need for customers to pay upfront costs and enables additional customers to participate in the program.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) provides a High Fire Threat District (HFTD) map to identify areas with elevated or extreme wildfire risks. 

This map is used by utility companies, such as PG&E, to determine eligibility for certain safety programs, including portable backup battery programs.

About the Map:

The CPUC High Fire-Threat District Map includes three fire-threat areas:

• Zone 1: Tier 1 High-Hazard Zones (HHZs) identified by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and CAL FIRE. These zones are near communities, roads, and utility lines and pose a direct threat to public safety.
• Tier 2: Areas with elevated wildfire risk from overhead utility power lines and facilities.
• Tier 3: Areas with extreme wildfire risk, where the highest likelihood of fire initiation and growth exists. This tier requires the most stringent utility regulations to reduce fire risks.

Most of Nevada County and Placer County are designated as Tier 2 or Tier …
