CAISO and PG&E are opposing the terms of a reliability-must-run (RMR) agreement for 2 California natural gas-fired plants that Calpine submitted with FERC.

California ethics officials have obtained new evidence of apparent back-channel communications between PG&E and the state Public Utilities Commission.

State regulators and transmission customers of Southern California Edison urged FERC to reject the utility’s requested rate hike for 2018.

FERC upheld a previous ruling covering Order 1000 cost allocation in the WestConnect planning region, adding further explanation of its reasoning.

PG&E says it will challenge a California ALJ’s recommendation that it be granted only $190 million for the retirement of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.

A CAISO report suggests that California’s utilities are about 2,000 MW short of the capacity needed to comply with 2018 local resource adequacy requirements

California electricity suppliers have met the state’s 25% renewable generation requirement, in many cases exceeding it substantially, the PUC says.

Utilities are dealing with several wildfire-related proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commission, which is exploring taking a larger role.

Increased labor costs from the expanding EIM helped push up CAISO’s 2018 revenue requirement by $1.9 million to $197.2 million.

CAISO is facing pressure from some stakeholders to broaden the scope of its Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources (ESDER) Phase 3 initiative.
