On February 14, 2024, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a proposed decision denying the City of Norco’s petition to reconsider the full undergrounding alternative of the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project (RTRP), which will construct above-ground transmission lines in a fire-prone area along Norco’s portion of the Santa Ana River.
The City of Norco is extremely disappointed in this preliminary ruling and urges the CPUC to consider how above-ground transmission lines lead to devastating and deadly wildfires in small, wind-prone and fire-prone communities like Norco.
