PG&E has agreed to pay $45 million to support organizations that continue the rebuilding and assistance of those impacted by the fire.

It has also agreed to a $5 million penalty to be directed to Shasta County.

Consumer advocates are also not pleased with the ruling.

"PG&E, once again, was not held accountable for its actions," said Mark Toney, director of The Utility Reform Network.
