Jason Hoyle, Director of Research, EQ Research LLC
Subject: Monthly Regulatory Update
Date: December 3, 2025
Keyes & Fox LLP and EQ Research LLC are pleased to provide VCE’s Board of Directors with this informational memo describing key California regulatory and compliance-related updates from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) over the past month.

NEWRA Rulemaking
Background: This proceeding is the successor to R.23-10-011, and it will address the 2027 and 2028 RA compliance years, local RA obligations for the 2027-2029 and 2028-2030 compliance years, further refinements to the 24-hour Slice-of-Day (SOD) framework. Other topics identified in the OIR include Loss of Load Expectation Study and the planning reserve margin, accreditation for long-duration energy storage, unforced capacity outage rates for thermal resources, accreditation for solar and wind resources, coordination with the integrated resource plan proceeding, and hourly transactability within the SOD framework.

Recent Developments: Comments on the OIR were filed on November 4 and reply comments were filed on November

14. In comments, CalCCA recommended modifying the preliminary schedule to allow parties to update proposals on hourly RA transactions under the slice-of-day framework after release of the Energy Division transactability report in Q1 2026; inclusion of load forecasting issues in the scope; and inclusion in the scope of counting accreditation rules for demand response, distributed energy resources, and microgrids.

Analysis: Parties, in general, supported a scope that addresses storage capacity accreditation, greater alignment of RA and Integrated Resource Planning resource counting and planning under the Renewable and Clean Power Procurement Program.

Next Steps: A scoping ruling is expected.

Additional Information: OIR (Oct. 15, 2025); Docket No. R.25-10-003.

PG&E 2026 ERRA Forecast
Background: The annual Energy Resource and Recovery Account (ERRA) forecast proceedings establish the amount of the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) and other non-bypassable charges (NBCs) for the following year, as well as fuel and purchased power costs associated with serving bundled customers that utilities may recover in rates.

Recent Developments: On November 21, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision that adopts a 2026 revenue requirement of about $4.5 billion, an increase of 6.1% and allows PG&E to use pre-2019 banked Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to meet its 2026 compliance obligations without corresponding credits to the PCIA, on an interim basis. CalCCA’s opening comments on the Proposed Decision raised concerns about the use of pre-2019 banked RECs without PCIA credits and encouraged the Commission to formally acknowledge PG&E statements that data center load located in a CCA service area will default to CCA service.

Analysis: Under the Proposed Decision, the average residential rate for CCA and Direct Access customers will increase by 2.9 cents per kWh, or 14.6%, to a total rate of 22.6 cents per kWh. PG&E’s proposals related to pre-2019 banked RECs and the valuation of its Resource Adequacy (RA) portfolio increase the PCIA revenue requirement.

Next Steps: The Proposed Decision is scheduled to be heard at the Commission’s December 18 meeting. Reply comments on the Proposed Decision are due December 4.

Additional Information: Proposed Decision (Nov. 25, 2025); Scoping Ruling (Oct. 29, 2025); PG&E Fall Update (Oct. 15, 2025); Ruling (Sep. 24, 2025); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Jul. 31, 2025); PG&E AL 7663-E (Jul. 30, 2025); PG&E 2026 ERRA Forecast Application (May 15, 2025); Docket No. A.25-05-011.

2 RPS Rulemaking
Background: This proceeding addresses ongoing Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirements, including legislative mandates, and other matters related to the purchase of renewable energy. This proceeding is the forum for review of VCE’s RPS Procurement Plan and RPS Compliance reports.

Recent Developments: On November 14, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision adopting as final VCE’s and seven other CCAs’ Draft 2025 RPS Procurement Plans. Out of 24 CCA Draft RPS Plans filed, 16 require clarifications or corrections to be submitted in a Final RPS Plan within 30 days of the issuance of the final decision. While VCE’s RPS Plan was adopted as final and no corrections are required, the Commission requested updates to confidentiality redactions made by VCE and seven other CCAs.

Analysis: N/A.

Next Steps: The Proposed Decision is scheduled to be heard at the Commission’s December 18 meeting. Comments on the Proposed Decision are due December 4 and reply comments are due December 9.

Additional Information: Proposed Decision (Nov. 14, 2025); VCE RPS Compliance Report (Aug. 1, 2025); VCE 2025 Draft RPS Plan (Jun. 30, 2025); Ruling on 2025 RPS Plans (Apr. 17, 2025); Notice of RPS Plan Approval (Apr. 3, 2025); VCE Final 2024 RPS Procurement Plan (Jan. 22, 2025); D.24-12-035 (Dec. 24, 2024); Scoping Memo and Ruling (May 9, 2024); OIR (Feb. 1, 2024); Docket No. R.24-01-017.

IRP Rulemaking (2025)
Background: This new proceeding governs the biennial Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process, including load serving entity (LSE) procurement requirements, the establishment of a variety of state- and LSE-level load and procurement forecasts, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, ongoing reliability obligations, and the Commission’s oversight of the IOUs’ bundled procurement plans. This proceeding continues the work of R.20-05-003 and will be the primary forum for most future CPUC work on the Reliable and Clean Power Procurement Program framework (RCPPP).

Recent Developments: LSEs filed their biannual Mid-Term Reliability (MTR) procurement compliance filings on December 2.

Analysis: N/A.

Next Steps: A ruling on the contents for LSE’s next IRP filing was expected in mid-November. A proposed decision on any potential additional reliability procurement between 2029 and 2032 is expected in late 2025 or early 2026, with a final decision in February 2026. LSEs’ IRPs will be due May 5, 2026. An ALJ ruling on the “good faith effort” standard for LSE compliance with procurement requirements is expected in Q4 of 2025.

Additional Information: Scoping Ruling (Oct. 28, 2025); Ruling (Sep. 30, 2025); OIR (Jul. 2, 2025); Docket No. R.25-06- 019.

PCIA/ERRA Reform
Background: This Rulemaking considers updates and reforms to the Energy Resource and Recovery Account (ERRA) and Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) rules and processes with the objectives of improving existing rules, mitigating rate volatility, and ensuring indifference among bundled and departing customers. The proceeding includes an expedited Track 1 to revise the resource adequacy (RA) market-price benchmark (MPB) calculation methodology and for the revised methodology to be used in the October 2025 MPBs, and Track 2 will consider broader issues.

Recent Developments: On December 1, CalCCA filed a Petition for Writ of Review of D.25-06-049 in the California Court of Appeal. The appeal argues that D.25-06-049 retroactively changes the methodology used to calculate the PCIA, violating state law and harming customer affordability.

Analysis: N/A.

Next Steps: A scoping memo for Track 2 is expected.

Additional Information: CalCCA Petition for Writ of Review (Dec. 1, 2025); D.25-10-061 denying rehearing (Oct 31, 2025); Applications for Rehearing of CalCCA and Ava/SJCE (Jul. 30, 2025); D.25-06-049 (Jun. 27, 2025); Scoping Memo (Apr. 8, 2025); ALJ Ruling (Mar. 21, 2025); Ruling & Staff Report on RA MPB (Feb. 26, 2025); OIR (Feb. 26, 2025); Docket No. R.25-02-005.

Climate Credit OIR
Background: This rulemaking will explore potential approaches to maximize the effectiveness at supporting customer affordability of cap-and-trade program proceeds returned to electric consumers via the state Climate Credit.

Recent Developments: The prehearing conference was held November 21.

Analysis: N/A.

Next Steps: A scoping memo is expected.

3 Additional Information: Ruling (Oct. 31, 2025); OIR (Aug. 20, 2025); Docket No. R.25-07-013.

PG&E 2027 Phase 1 GRC
Background: Phase 1 General Rate Case (GRC) proceedings determine PG&E’s overall revenue requirement and classification of costs by function for a set period (in this case, 2027-2030).

Recent Developments: On November 6, CalAdvocates and the Small Business Utility Advocates jointly filed a Motion requesting that the Commission amend the procedural schedule in light of PG&E’s delayed and still outstanding response to intervenors’ proposed alternatives to PG&E’s Undergrounding Bridge Program (which, under the current schedule, PG&E is required to submit within 5 business days after the Commission votes on draft Resolution SPD-37).

A November 24 e-mail Ruling deferred a final ruling on the Motion until after the earlier of the issuance of Resolution SPD-37 (which is currently scheduled to be heard at the December 4 Commission meeting) or the service of rebuttal testimony. Once the earlier of those events occurs, intervenors are directed to update their motion.

Analysis: PG&E did not provide power line undergrounding forecasts in its Application and instead proposed one year of bridge funding and the possibility of seeking up to $3.6 billion in funding for up to 1,200 miles of electrical undergrounding via a tier 2 advice letter. Intervenors filed alternative proposals, but PG&E’s delayed response to those proposals (as a result of the ongoing delay in a Commission vote on SPD-37) has raised concerns about the ability of intervenors to develop their testimony on this issue by the current deadline of February 13, 2026.

Next Steps: SPD-37 is on the agenda for the Commission’s December 4 meeting. Intervenor testimony is due on February 13, 2026.

Additional Information: Ruling (Nov. 24, 2025); CalAdvocates/SBUA Motion (Nov. 6, 2025); Ruling (Sep. 25, 2025); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Jul. 31, 2025); Application (May 16, 2025); Docket No. A.25-05-009.

PG&E 2023 Phase 2 GRC
Background: Phase 2 General Rate Case (GRC) proceedings determine PG&E’s marginal cost of service and revenue requirement allocation among customer classes for a set period (in this case, 2023-2026).

Recent Developments: On November 6, PG&E filed a Motion to adopt a bifurcated real-time pricing track of the proceeding.

Analysis: CalCCA largely agreed with PG&E’s proposed schedule for the real-time pricing track, but requested in its response to the Motion that the Commission make a few minor modifications to PG&E’s proposal.

Next Steps: A meet and confer among parties is planned for the week of December 1. Intervenor testimony is due February 9, 2026.

Additional Information: Motion for bifurcated track (Nov. 6, 2025); PG&E Testimony and Change Tables (Oct. 29, 2025); Ruling (Oct. 9, 2025); Ruling (Aug.18, 2025); Request for scoping amendment (Jun. 12, 2025); PG&E AL 7588-E (May 2, 2025); Scoping Memo (Mar. 21, 2025); Application (Sep. 30, 2024); Docket No. A.24-09-014.

PG&E 2024 ERRA Compliance
Background: The annual ERRA Compliance proceeding reviews the utility’s compliance with CPUC-approved standards for generation-procurement and cost recovery activity occurring in the prior year, such as energy resource contract administration, least-cost dispatch, fuel procurement, and balancing account entries.

Recent Developments: PG&E submitted an updated Joint Status Conference Statement on November 25.

Analysis: Following additional discovery conducted after the Joint Status Conference, parties agree that evidentiary hearings are not necessary and expect that the established schedule can be maintained.

Next Steps: Briefs are due in early 2026.

Additional Information: Joint Status Conference Statement (Nov. 25, 2025); Scoping Memo and Ruling (May 2, 2025); Joint Prehearing Conference Statement (Apr. 16, 2025); Ruling (Mar. 27, 2025); PG&E 2024 ERRA Compliance Application (Feb. 28, 2025); Docket No. A.25-02-013.

City and County of San Francisco Municipalization
Background: The City and County of San Francisco (SF or City) filed this Petition in 2021 for a determination by the CPUC of just compensation for acquisition by the City of PG&E property (PG&E distribution system within SF transmission assets needed for operational control, a substation and related assets) pursuant to Public Utilities Code §1401-1421.

Recent Developments: On November 6, the Commission issued D.25-10-039 establishing methods and standards for determination of just compensation and valuation and setting forth requirements for parties’ forthcoming testimony. The Decision establishes principles to assess just compensation but does not select a specific valuation method for PG&E’s property, land, and rights and will leave the parties free to put forward their interpretation and valuation approach within the guidelines.

4 Analysis: The Decision adopts Staff’s proposed principles of just compensation, including finding that ratepayers remain “neutral” and in the same financial position after the proposed acquisition, and maintaining the same level of “safety, reliability, wildfire mitigation, public benefits, etc.” for PG&E’s remaining customers. The Decision requires parties to submit appraisals using three separate valuation methods and show how their proposed just compensation award is consistent with law, precedent, is accurate and avoids double-counting. The Decision declined the utility stakeholders’ requests to require the City to certify a Final Environmental Impact Report before proceeding with the valuation.

Next Steps: The schedule for testimony will be specified in a future ruling amending the procedural schedule.

Additional Information: D.25-10-039 (Nov. 6, 2025); Amended Scoping Memo (Jul. 1, 2025); Petition (Jul. 27, 2021); Docket No. P.21-07-012.

Distribution Interconnection Rules
Background: This rulemaking will review and refine distribution-level interconnection rules under Electric Rule 21, particularly those for distributed energy resources (DER) for PG&E, SCE, SDG&E and the small and multijurisdictional electric utilities.

Recent Developments: Parties filed reply comments on the OIR on November 10.

Analysis: CalCCA’s reply comments supported multiple parties recommending reform to the electrical independence test used to determine transmission system impacts from a proposed project.

Next Steps: A ruling scheduling a prehearing conference is expected.

Additional Information: OIR (Jul. 25, 2025); Docket No. R.25-08-004.

EV Rates & Infrastructure
Background: This rulemaking is the successor to R.18-12-006 and will focus on issues related to 1) timely energization of electric vehicle (EV) charging, 2) transportation electrification grid planning to support charging infrastructure deployment, 3) deployment of behind-the-meter (BTM) charging infrastructure to support state goals, 4) vehicle-grid integration (VGI), and 5) ongoing transportation electrification policy development and collaboration.

Recent Developments: On October 27, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision, (Revised on December 2) that (1) adopts revised transportation electrification (TE) data gathering and reporting requirements, and, as revised, waives CCA reporting requirements until the new data template has been developed, and also exempts small CCAs (those serving less than 700 GWh of annual demand) from reporting requirements other than activity-based metrics.

Additionally, the Proposed Decision continues the implementation of the Technical Assistance Program with a budget of $36 million over three years, which will begin 90 days after the Commission’s approval of the Program Handbook (due within 120 days of the effective date of this decision).

Analysis: The Proposed Decision and comment rulings will support development of a more formal planning process and coordinated investment plan to support priority investments in electrification infrastructure.

Next Steps: The Proposed Decision may be heard as soon as the December 4 Commission meeting.

Additional Information: REV 1. Proposed Decision (Dec. 2, 2025); Ruling (Oct. 14, 2025); Ruling (Oct. 1, 2025); PG&E Mid-Term Report (Sep. 15, 2025); Joint Report on the CPUC’s Submetering and Telematics Workshop (Jun. 16, 2025); Joint Report on the Vehicle-Grid Integration Workshop (Jun. 16, 2025); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Apr. 12, 2024); OIR (Dec. 20, 2023); Docket No. R.23-12-008.

Diablo Canyon 2026 Rates & VPF
Background: During the period of extended operations for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant, PG&E submits an annual application forecasting its costs, market revenues from CAISO, net costs allocated to ratepayers of each large IOU, and its plan for use of volumetric performance fees (VPFs) in the upcoming calendar year.

Recent Developments: Oral arguments were held on December 1.

Analysis: PG&E’s unbundled CCA customers are projected to see a rate decrease of approximately 0.8% to 19.6 cents per kWh. Additionally, Diablo Canyon GHG-free generation is expected to increase to 18,203 GWh in 2026, or by about 80% over 2025 levels.

Next Steps: The Proposed Decision may be heard as soon as the December 4 Commission meeting.

Additional Information: REV 1. Proposed Decision (Dec. 2, 2025); ALJ Ruling (Aug. 29, 2025); Scoping Ruling and Memo (Jul. 2, 2025); Application (Mar. 28, 2025); Docket No. A.25-03-015.

Disconnections and Reconnections
Background: This proceeding addresses approaches to the disconnection and reconnection of electric customers with a focus on improving energy access and cost containment.

Recent Developments: On November 14, opening comments on the October 13 Ruling were filed.

5 Analysis: The PIPP Pilot, administered by the Large IOUs, is designed to set a participant’s utility bill payment amount at an affordable percentage of the participant’s monthly income, and a March staff report recommended the PIPP program be consolidated with the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) program.

Next Steps: Reply comments on the October 13 Ruling are due on December 5. Heat-based disconnection threshold proposals must be implemented by May 1, 2026.

Additional Information: Ruling granting extension (Oct. 21, 2025); Ruling (Oct. 13, 2025); D.25-06-012 (Jun. 17, 2025); Phase 2 Scoping Memo (Jul. 15, 2022); OIR (Jul. 20, 2018); Docket No. R.18-07-005.

Provider of Last Resort Rulemaking
Background: A Provider of Last Resort (POLR) is the utility or other entity that has the obligation to serve all customers (PG&E currently serves in this role for VCE’s service area). Phase 1 of this proceeding concluded in April 2024 and addressed POLR service requirements, cost recovery, and options to maintain GHG emission reductions in the event of an unplanned customer migration to the POLR. Phase 2 builds on Phase 1 to set the requirements and application process for non-IOU entities to serve as the POLR. Phase 3 will address specific issues not resolved in Phase 1 or 2.

Recent Developments: On November 10, PG&E submitted AL 7756-E providing updated CCA financial security requirements.

Analysis: N/A.

Next Steps: A ruling on the need for legal briefs in Phase 2 is expected in 2025 and resolution of the Threshold Questions is expected soon, after which the primary topic areas will be addressed.

PG&E Billing System Modernization
Background: This proceeding addresses PG&E’s plan to upgrade its legacy billing system, some portions of which date back to the mid-1990s. PG&E proposed a three-stage upgrade that would ultimately be complete in Q4 2029 and cost an estimated $761.3 million.

Recent Developments: On November 18, the ALJ issued a Ruling rescheduling the evidentiary hearing for February 18-

20. On November 26, The Utility Reform Network submitted an unopposed request that the hearing be held the week of February 9 due to a scheduling conflict.

Analysis: Issues related to CCA concerns such as bill presentation, improvements to billing data access and quality, CCA service fees, and others will be covered during the evidentiary hearings.

Next Steps: The evidentiary hearing will be held in February.

Additional Information: Ruling (Nov. 18, 2025); Ruling (Sep. 11, 2025); Joint Case Management Statement (Aug. 20, 2025); D.25-08-008 (Aug. 19, 2025); Joint CCA Testimony (Jun. 30, 2025); Scoping Memo (Mar. 27, 2025); Application (Oct. 23, 2024); Docket No. A.24-10-014.

PG&E 2026 Cost of Capital
Background: Cost of capital proceedings are held every three years to establish a utility’s return on equity (ROE) and overall rate of return (ROR). The Commission established a uniform cost of capital mechanism for the large investor-owned utilities that includes a review 3-year cycle and provides for formula-based interim adjustments based on a bond market index.

Recent Developments: On November 14, the ALJ issued a Proposed Decision establishing the 2026 ratemaking cost of capital for PG&E, SoCalGas, SCE, and SDG&E and closing this consolidated proceeding. The Proposed Decision would approve a capital structure of 47.5% debt and 52.5% equity with an overall rate of return of 7.59% for PG&E.

Analysis: If approved, the new rate of return will take effect starting January 1, 2026.

Next Steps: The Proposed Decision is scheduled to be heard at the December 18 Commission meeting. Comments on the Proposed Decision are due December 4 and reply comments are due December 9.

Additional Information: Proposed Decision (Nov. 14, 2025); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Jul. 16, 2025); ALJ Ruling (May 29, 2025); Application (Mar. 20, 2025); Docket No. A.25-03-010.

Demand Flexibility
Background: This rulemaking was opened to update the CPUC’s rate design principles and guidance for advancing demand flexibility, and to modify, consolidate, or eliminate existing dynamic rate pilots. Phase 1-Track A established an income-graduated fixed charge (IGFC) for residential rates for all investor-owned electric utilities in accordance with

6 Assembly Bill 205 (Stats. 2022, ch. 61). Phase 1-Track B first adopted rate design and demand flexibility principles and then expanded VCE’s AgFIT Pilot throughout PG&E distribution territory.
