CAISO published its 2022-23 transmission plan, taking a new approach to prioritizing dozens of transmission projects for renewable resources and reliability.

Panelists at the RE+ Northern California conference discussed utility rate design to lessen the impact of decarbonization and wildfire mitigation on ratepayers.

Two new bills would expedite transmission projects by streamlining approval processes and shortening lawsuits so the state can meet its 100% clean energy goal.

California's governor has proposed legislation that could give the Department of Water Resources central procurement authority to ensure resource adequacy.

A new CAISO stakeholder initiative aims to overhaul its interconnection process to deal with a flood of requests to connect renewable resources and storage.

Citing reliability concerns, the NRC OK'd a request to keep Diablo Canyon Power Plant's two reactors running past their license expirations in 2024 and 2025.

PG&E CEO Patti Poppe said the utility is slowing the pace of its efforts to bury 10,000 miles of distribution lines to prevent wildfire ignitions.

The California PUC ordered utilities to procure an additional 4 GW of clean-energy resources by 2027 and said the state needs 85 GW of new resources by 2035.

The California PUC, Energy Commission and CAISO signed an agreement that will help make CAISO's transmission planning more proactive, CEO Elliot Mainzer said.

Recent departures at CAISO, the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission require new appointments by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
