A new study says operating PG&E's Diablo Canyon nuclear plant beyond its scheduled 2025 retirement would cut costs, cut emissions and bolster reliability.

PG&E could face additional oversight and enforcement if it fails to meet new safety metrics adopted by the California Public Utilities Commission.

Worried about reliability, the California PUC voted to increase the volume of natural gas stored at Aliso Canyon, site of a massive methane leak in 2015.

The CPUC unveiled plans Friday to head off capacity shortfalls in the next two summers through additional demand-response and procurement orders.

PG&E said in its Q3 report that it expects a $1.15 billion loss from the massive Dixie Fire this summer and has been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors.

PG&E is proposing to build infrastructure for 16,000 EV charging ports at public locations, as well as sites convenient for apartment residents.

California needs a big scale-up to 1.2 million public EV chargers by 2030, but building charging infrastructure has been painfully slow, developers say.

Increased discussion of a Western RTO is being driven by clean-energy mandates and state laws requiring transmission owners to join an organized market.

PG&E de-energized power lines in California as high winds and drought raised the risk of wildfires, but it was able to keep its latest PSPS more limited.

The California PUC began investigating the safety practices of gas and electric utilities under its jurisdiction to head off disasters.
