The California Public Utilities Commission announced on April 13 a list of new filings and proposed decisions from the week of April 6 to April 10, 2026. These filings include proposed decisions open for public comment as well as newly submitted complaints and applications that may influence utility services across the state.
These weekly updates are important because they provide transparency into regulatory actions affecting utilities, communities, and consumers in California. The commission encourages public participation by allowing written comments on proposed decisions through each proceeding’s Docket Card and offers a subscription service for ongoing updates.
Among the notable filings is a decision implementing California’s shared renewables portfolio (Proceeding A2205022), filed on April 7. Other significant items include a proposed financing order authorizing Southern California Edison Company to issue recovery bonds related to Woolsey Fire costs under Assembly Bill 1054 (Proceeding A2601007), and several decisions regarding revenue requirements for Liberty Utilities’ general rate cases (Proceeding A2401002). Additionally, there are rulings addressing petitions for modification of prior commission decisions and intervenor compensation claims.
New complaints filed during this period involve allegations such as billing errors against Southern California Edison Company by individual complainants Julie Reis, Celeste Ventura, and Karine Markarian. There is also an application from Roy H. Halim Machmur seeking authority to operate passenger transportation between Orange County and Los Angeles County with flexible fare structures (Proceeding A2604004), along with PacifiCorp’s request to approve the sale of Washington-based assets (Proceeding A2604005) and San Jose Water Company’s application concerning cost recovery for PFAS remediation (Proceeding A2604010).
The commission has also instituted investigations into whether certain energy storage systems have remained out of service beyond allowable periods, which could impact Pacific Gas & Electric rates if associated expenses are disallowed (Proceeding I2604008). In addition, rulemaking proceedings have been initiated regarding advanced electric rate design in California.
These developments reflect ongoing regulatory oversight intended to address evolving issues within the state’s utility sector. The CPUC continues to invite stakeholder input as it reviews these matters.
