In 2017, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) decided to bring aviation operations "in-house" rather than calling upon local single engine helicopter operators for power line patrol and other transport requirements. This EC-145 was chosen for twin engine safety and the ability to do many other missions. Delivered in March 2018, it has been joined by a UH-60 Blackhawk for construction and fire fighting work and an Erickson Air Crane extended contract to provide fire fighting capability with an S-64F Skycrane.
