How much to better manage existing routes without undergrounding? That means trimming, burying where needed (not everywhere), adding insulators or swapping for metal poles (like SDG&E did in some areas). We shouldn't set the 100% option as the analysis point right away.

I would actually probably say they’re comparable in cost on a per household basis. In the Bay Area, it’s like $3-10K to remove a mature Euc tree, for example. And with veg removal, it’s not a one-time thing. It’s like a haircut you have to do every year.

That's an odd response. Not that I'm expecting a quick answer on this, to be fair. The current IOU system isn't working. We pay for the liability and give away the profits, with higher rates than many local electric providers.

I meant veg management and Undergrounding might be similarly expensive bc you have to do tree trimming every year.
