A single Western market is one of the safest bets to address the region’s reliability and cost issues in the face of extreme weather events, proponents of the West-Wide Governance Pathways Initiative said during a panel discussion.

Gov. Gavin Newsom continued reconfiguring the state's energy leadership with changes at the California Energy Commission and in his office.

The governor's senior energy adviser, Alice Reynolds, will move in December to the CPUC, an agency struggling to head off wildfires and capacity shortfalls.

CPUC President Marybel Batjer — who has tackled wildfires, blackouts and PG&E — said she'll leave at the end of the year, with five years left in her term.

The CPUC and the judge overseeing PG&E's probation are leaning on the utility to clear trees from lines that could start fires.

California regulators are trying to avoid a repeat of last year’s unprecedented use of PSPS to prevent utility equipment from igniting wildfires.

The California PUC might implement the strict regimen of oversight and enforcement that PG&E agreed to last year as part of its bankruptcy plan.

An ugly feud between members of the California PUC and its executive director, Alice Stebbins, played out in public during an online hearing.

The CPUC postponed its planned vote on PG&E’s bankruptcy reorganization plan because a party to the proceedings improperly sent out a mass email.

Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Marybel Batjer, currently the government operations secretary, as the next president of the Public Utilities Commission.
