CPUC April 9 Voting Preview: New Rulemaking Forces a Decision on Who Pays for Large Load

The CPUC published the agenda for its April 9 business meeting. Items that are up for consideration include:

• A major new rulemaking on electric rate design;
• Utility remediation plans that address problems in their Integration Capacity Analysis tools;
• Modification of the Renewable Gas Standard program;
• PG&E's arrangement with Citizens Energy Corporation for transmission entitlements; and
• ERRA compliance findings for SDG&E and SCE.

This agenda reflects a Commission increasingly focused on cost control, data accountability, and who ultimately bears system costs across rate design, procurement, and infrastructure investment.

We will provide same-day coverage of the meeting's results next week.
