August 13, 2026 CPUC Voting Meeting Results

At its August 13 voting meeting, the CPUC approved a broad slate of utility measures, including a $22 million PG&E wildfire settlement, a $1 billion increase in PG&E's borrowing authority and new customer-level reliability reporting requirements for PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E.

The Commission also allowed PG&E to withdraw its application for a $93.5 million Hinkley Compressor Station project, revised SoCalGas procurement rules, and streamlined oversight of Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs.

But it once again delayed action on:

• PG&E’s attempt to exclude approximately $2.6 billion in wildfire liabilities and state borrowing from its capital-structure calculation (which now involves competing PDs); and
• PG&E's agreement to energize Google’s 250-MW San Jose data center.

Those PG&E items are now tentatively scheduled for consideration on September 3.
