California continues to add in-state renewable energy resources, but the transmission upgrades needed to bring those projects online have been lagging behind, according to the Public Utilities Commission.

California’s two large offshore wind projects could be delayed by up to six years due to recent federal policy actions, a CPUC administrative law judge said.

The California PUC wants CAISO to come up with a way to pause settlements of certain congestion revenue allocations in the ISO’s upcoming Extended Day-Ahead Market if participants begin to game the market through extensive self-scheduling.

The California Public Utility Commission approved construction of a set of transmission infrastructure projects to support a 90-MW data center owned by Microsoft, but questions remain about whether the upgrades will increase or decrease ratepayer costs.

The Extended Day-Ahead Market took center stage at CAISO in 2025 as the ISO tabled other long-term initiatives to ensure the market’s timely launch in May 2026, with PacifiCorp as its first participant.

The California Public Utilities Commission approved Pacific Gas and Electric's request to recover about $382 million from customers to operate the Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo next year.

Key organizations across California voiced strong opposition to Pacific Gas and Electric's proposed rate increases that are under review at the California PUC.

A California PUC judge has proposed the commission order an additional 6 GW of capacity for the state between 2029 and 2032 to get ahead of disappearing federal tax credits and loans for renewable energy resources.

The California PUC is recommending the state build an additional 68.5 GW of new solar generation resources by 2045, despite new tariffs on imports and the planned elimination of federal tax credits.
