The California PUC opened a new proceeding to determine if investor-owned utilities should more rigorously assess risks from climate change and wildfires.

PG&E said it had completed its bankruptcy restructuring, one day after California enacted a law allowing the state to take over the utility if it fails to obey PUC rules.

The California PUC rejected a huge boost in megawatts for the San Francisco Bay Area that CAISO insists NERC and WECC reliability standards require.

California Public Utilities Commission members criticized FERC’s proposal to double its transmission incentive adder and make the adders easier to get.

Profit pressures and untrained staff allowed a century-old C hook to fail, causing the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history.

The California PUC adopted measures to prepare for this year’s fire season by accelerating deployment of microgrids and approving IOU prevention plans.

Lawmakers advanced a measure that would let the state appoint a receiver or take over PG&E if the utility fails to provide safe and reliable service.

The CPUC unanimously approved PG&E’s reorganization plan but warned it will be able to end the utility’s monopoly should it fail to ensure public safety.

Proceedings to conclude PG&E Corp.’s Chapter 11 reorganization will likely happen via video later this month, Judge Dennis Montali said.

The CPUC postponed its planned vote on PG&E’s bankruptcy reorganization plan because a party to the proceedings improperly sent out a mass email.
