PG&E Corp. has been shopping a new plan that would see the bankrupt California utility emerge from bankruptcy in March with a $14 billion fund established to address past wildfire claims and another $20 billion statewide fund for future fires.

The proposal, the first one that PG&E has made, is expected to be filed in August, according to a document reviewed by Bloomberg. It also contemplates refinancing about $11 billion in debt and accrued interest.
