Nov. 19 CPUC Meeting Preview: PG&E and Google’s Data Center Deal (Again), Competing Biomethane PDs, Wildfire Cost Cuts
PG&E has revised its agreement to connect Google’s proposed San Jose data center, but the draft resolution before the CPUC on Nov. 19 still addresses the original filing. Protests to a PG&E supplemental filing, which contains the revised agreement, are due three days before the meeting.
Competing biomethane PDs, PG&E’s interim rate request and Liberty Utilities’ Mountain View Fire cost-recovery request also return to the Commission's agenda after being held on Oct. 29. The Nov. 19 agenda also includes proposed cuts to wildfire cost recovery for PG&E and SDG&E.
