The recent Los Angeles wildfires have resulted in significant financial losses, raising concerns about California's $21 billion utility fund, which may be insufficient to cover damages if utilities are found liable. With estimates of insured losses potentially reaching up to $40 billion, investors are worried as this fund could leave other utilities vulnerable in future disasters. The legal framework in California holds utilities responsible even with prudent actions, adding to the challenges for the fund, which was established after PG&E’s bankruptcy in 2019.
