Any idea who will own the inter-city transmission lines? If I'm reading the news reports properly, it's the high-tension long-haul lines that are most of the fire problem.

No, it is rural distribution lines that are most vulnerable.
The thousands of miles of regular power poles out in the countryside, connecting a very scattered population to the grid.

It’s rural transmission lines through forested areas that have been implicated in the fires.
The biggest problem inner city lines have is thieves trying to steal copper.
