The California Public Utilities Commission announced on May 4 a list of new filings and proposed decisions from the week of April 28 to May 1, which may affect utility services and policies in the state.
These weekly updates include proposed decisions that are open for public comment, as well as new complaints and applications. The commission said these filings could shape future regulatory actions for utilities, communities, and consumers across California.
Among the proposed decisions open for public comment is one approving an indirect transfer of control of Securus Technologies, LLC to SCRS Intermediate Holding Corporation subject to certain conditions. Another proposed decision dismisses a joint petition for modification as moot, while a third grants compensation to Utility Consumers’ Action Network for its contribution to a previous decision.
New complaints and applications filed during this period involve several utility companies. Southern California Edison Company has applied to revise its safe annual yield and related water allocations under a special agreement. Great Oaks Water Company seeks an order establishing its authorized cost of capital from July 2027 through June 2030. Additionally, Southern California Gas Company and San Diego Gas & Electric Company have requested authorization to implement revenue requirements enabling their SAP Migration Program.
Other proceedings include complaints alleging violations such as overbilling or noncompliance with public utilities sections by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and San Rafael Housing Opportunities LLC. There is also an order instituting rulemaking aimed at refining risk-based decision-making frameworks for electric and gas utilities.
The commission encourages members of the public to participate by submitting comments on any proposed decision via the CPUC Docket Card or subscribing to proceedings using their numbers in order to receive future updates.
