New IRP Proposed Decision Allocates 6 GW Across California Load-Serving Entities

Administrative Law Judge Fitch issued a proposed decision that, if adopted, would require California load-serving entities to procure additional clean reliability resources to address forecasted system needs in the 2029–2032 period.

The PD orders 2,000 MW of net qualifying capacity online by June 1, 2030, and an additional 4,000 MW by June 1, 2032, with no more than half of each tranche met by storage. The PD also transmits updated base and sensitivity portfolios to the CAISO for use in its 2026–2027 Transmission Planning Process.
