California regulators said they will consider breaking up PG&E Corp. or turning it into a publicly owned utility as part of a broad review into the company after a string of deadly disasters tied to its operations.

The California Public Utilities Commission said Friday that it also will consider whether PG&E’s board and executive management should be replaced. The agency said it hadn’t drawn any conclusions on how it will act, and it will seek input from the public.
