Subject: Monthly Regulatory Update
Date: June 3, 2026
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 two months.
NEWElectric Rate Design
Background: This proceeding will establish advanced electric rate design policies, including rate structures and components such as time-of-use (TOU), demand charges, and the design of demand flexibility and dynamic rates.
Additionally, rate design options to support electrification for large commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, as well as rate design options for data centers and other large load customers will also be addressed.
Recent Developments: On April 10, the CPUC issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) establishing a new proceeding to address advanced electric rate design policies to update residential and non-residential rate structures and their underlying cost inputs. Opening comments on the OIR were submitted on May 11 and reply comments were submitted on May 21. CalCCA’s comments recommended that any tariff changes preserve customer choice and recognize the role of CCAs as the default generation providers for customers within their service territories, required information sharing between IOUs and CCAs on large load interconnection requests, and that the proceeding first determine whether data centers should receive distinct tariff treatment before moving on to broader rate reform issues and then revisiting the base service charge. On May 22, a Ruling scheduled the prehearing conference for June 18.
Analysis: This proceeding will not only address data center rates, but also consider a wide variety of rate-related topics such as demand charges, dynamic rates, and the AB 2109 exemption from non-bypassable or departing load charges for certain industrial customers that utilize process heat recovery technology.
Next Steps: The prehearing conference is scheduled for June 18.
Additional Information: Ruling (May 22, 2026); OIR (Apr. 10, 2026); Docket No. R.26-04-009.
NEWPG&E 2027 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 May 15, PG&E submitted its 2027 ERRA Forecast Application requesting a revenue requirement of $3.176 billion, which is approximately $84 million less than the approved revenue requirement of $3.260 billion in D.25-12-027. The 2027 revenue requirement will be updated in mid-October 2026 and is currently expected to have the valuation of pre-2019 banked RECs included in the update based on the initial outcome of the PCIA/ERRA Reform proceeding (R.25-02-005).
Analysis: At PG&E’s requested revenue requirement, residential CCA customer rates would decrease by approximately 7.3% to 21.7 cents/kWh, while bundled residential customer rates would decrease by approximately 5.7% to 35.7 cent/kWh.
Next Steps: Protests and responses to the Application are due June 17.
Additional Information: Application (May 15, 2026); Docket No. A.26-05-007.
PG&E Diablo Canyon 2027 & 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: Protests to PG&E’s Application were filed on April 29. A prehearing conference was held May 22.
Analysis: N/A.
2 Next Steps: A scoping memo and ruling is expected to be issued during the next few weeks.
Additional Information: Application (Mar. 27, 2026); Docket No. A.26-03-031.
Climate Credit OIR
Background: This rulemaking will explore potential approaches to supporting customer affordability through cap-and-trade program proceeds returned to electric consumers via the state Climate Credit. The proceeding is divided into two tracks, and the current Track 1 has a Phase 1A and a Phase 1B. Phase 1A will address the timing of the distribution of climate credits in 2026 and Phase 1B will address broader changes in the residential Climate Credit.
Recent Developments: On May 4, 2026, the CPUC issued D.26-04-036 requiring the IOUs to distribute this year’s Climate Credit in the high-usage months of August and September and to be accompanied by customer outreach and education efforts.
Analysis: The current-year revisions to the Climate Credit are focused on affordability and targeted to reduce electric bills during the highest-cost month. Potential future modifications may alter the timing of the distributions as well as the allocation of distributions amount customer classes and between to CARE/FERA customers.
Next Steps: More permanent potential changes to the Climate Credit will be considered in the upcoming Phase 1B, and they are focused on affordability and include eligibility to receive the credit, the timing of its distribution, number of annual distributions, and the methodology used to calculate the credit.
Additional Information: D.26-04-036 (May 4, 2026); D.26-03-013 (Mar. 25, 2026); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Feb. 3, 2026); Ruling (Oct. 31, 2025); OIR (Aug. 20, 2025); Docket No. R.25-07-013.
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 May 5, the CPUC issued Draft Comment Resolution E-5457 updating the fixed avoided-cost rates for the Renewable Market Adjusting Tariff (ReMAT) program. On May 7, the CPUC issued a Notice that Final 2025 Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Procurement Plans have been approved, including VCE’s 2025 RPS Plan.
Analysis: Several new RPS Plan requirements in this cycle address how the RPs Plan aligns with planned procurement identified in each LSE’s IRP filing and include reporting on progress towards existing and new Mid-Term Reliability procurement requirements.
Next Steps: Draft RPS Plans are due June 12, comments on Draft RPS Plans are due July 13, reply comments and motions to update RPS Plans are due July 27.
Additional Information: Approval Notice (May 7, 2026); Draft Comment Resolution E-5457 (May 5, 2026); Ruling (Mar. 27, 2026); VCE Amended Confidentiality Motion (Jan. 26, 2026); D.25-12-025 (Dec. 26, 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); Scoping Memo and Ruling (May 9, 2024); OIR (Feb. 1, 2024); Docket No. R.24-01- 017.
RA 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. Track 1 will consider accreditation for long-duration energy storage, unforced capacity outage rates for thermal resources, accreditation for solar and wind resources, and transactability within the SOD framework during the first half of 2026. Track 2 will address the planning reserve margin and coordination with the integrated resource plan proceeding.
Recent Developments: On June 1, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision adopting local and flexible capacity obligations and program refinements. In the Proposed Decision, the Commission retains the current exceedance methodology but indicates willingness to consider probabilistic effective load carrying capacity proposals. The Storage resource capacity accreditation is adjusted to remove nonlinear output and only credit a continuous output level over four hours, the Proposed Decision declines to count energy-only resources for charging sufficiency of storage resources not co-located with the generation resource, and charging sufficiency will be incorporated into the RA penalty structure starting in the 2027 compliance year. Long-duration storage is defined as a storage resource capable of discharging at its maximum capacity for 8 or more hours, and multipliers based on the duration of discharge will be used to determine the forward-charging period duration. The unforced capacity outage framework will be addressed in track 2 of this proceeding for implementation in the 2028 RA year. The proposed Decision declines to adopt CalCCA’s recommended hourly load obligation trading. Beginning with the 2028 RA compliance year, IOUs are required to inform CCAs about new large loads such as data centers in the CCAs service area.
3 Analysis: The Proposed Decision provides guidance on long-awaited energy storage accreditation which will assist LSEs in planning for and meeting required procurement obligations. Likewise, the inclusion of information sharing requirements for new large loads will improve CCA planning and procurement and avoid challenges of supplying generation for unexpected new demand of a large magnitude on a short timeframe. However, the reluctance to adopt or develop hourly load obligation trading and the use of energy-only resources for charging sufficiency means that available existing resources will continue to not be utilized to the fullest extent possible for the immediate future.
Next Steps: The Proposed Decision may be heard as early as the July 2 Commission meeting. Comments on the Proposed Decision are due June 22 and reply comments are due June 29. Draft Loss of Load Expectation studies and Planning Reserve Margin proposals are due August 14 and final proposals are due in October.
Additional Information: Proposed Decision (Jun. 1, 2026); Ruling (Mar. 30, 2026); CalCCA Transactability issues Comments (Mar. 16, 2026); CalCCA Track 1 Comments (Mar. 6, 2026); CalCCA Transactability proposal Comments (Mar. 3, 2026); Ruling and Transactability Report (Feb. 24, 2026); Scoping Memo (Dec. 12, 2025); OIR (Oct. 15, 2025); Docket No. R.25-10-003.
IRP Rulemaking (2025)
Background: This 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: On April 6, a joint Application for Rehearing of D.26-02-057 was submitted requesting that direct access providers be excluded from allocations of the newly ordered procurement because of the statutory cap on enrolling new load. On June 1, LSEs filed mid-term reliability (MTR) procurement compliance updates. On June 1, IOUs filed their Bundled Procurement Plan (BPP) updates.
Analysis: If successful, the Application for Rehearing would reallocate the direct access portion of the new procurement to other LSEs, resulting in a slightly increased procurement amount for VCE.
Next Steps: VCE’s next IRP filing is due August 10, 2026. Comments on IRP filings are due September 21. Comments on proposed updates are expected to be due in Q3, and a proposed decision adopting updated BPPs is now expected in Q4.
Additional Information: Application for Rehearing (Apr. 6, 2026); Ruling (Mar. 9, 2026); D.26-02-057 and Attachment (Mar. 5, 2026); IRP Ruling (Jan. 16, 2026); Scoping Ruling (Oct. 28, 2025); Ruling (Sep. 30, 2025); OIR (Jul. 2, 2025); Docket No. R.25-06-019.
Demand Response Enhancements
Background: This proceeding seeks to enhance demand response (DR) resources by updating guiding principles, policies, and data system and process requirements. Demand response development is closely connected to the implementation of dynamic rates and real-time pricing (RTP), similar to VCE’s AgFIT Pilot, but across all customer classes.
Recent Developments: On April 8, a Ruling requested responses to additional questions on bridge-year funding and modified the schedule relating thereto.
Analysis: N/A.
Next Steps: A joint case management statement is due June 11, and, if needed, a hearing will be held in July. A Staff Proposal on data systems and processes to support DR, including dynamic rates, is expected in Q2 2026.
Additional Information: Ruling (Apr. 8, 2026); D.26-03-016 on Flex Alert Funding (Mar. 26, 2026); Ruling on Staff Proposal on IOUs Bridge Year Funding (Mar. 10, 2026); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Feb. 12, 2026); Ruling and Staff Proposal (Dec. 30, 2025); OIR and Guiding Principles (Sep. 29, 2025); Docket No. R.25-09-004.
PCIA/ERRA Reform
Background: This Rulemaking considers updates and reforms to the 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. Track 1 concluded in 2025, Track 2’s scope was revised to consider issues related to the valuation of pre-2019 RECs arising from 2026 ERRA forecast proceedings, and an additional Track 3 will be initiated later in 2026 to review broader issues.
Recent Developments: An April 24 Ruling cancelled the April 28 evidentiary hearing to allow party responses to the Staff Report and rescheduled the hearing for June 2, which will allow parties to further explain their preferred approach to valuing pre-2019 banked RECs. In the upcoming Track 3, a May 13 Ruling scheduled a multi-day workshop for June 8, 9, and 15 for party input on the scope and schedule for exploration of other approaches to indifference as well as data access and confidentiality issues.
4 Analysis: A valuation for pre-2019 banked RECs will reduce PCIA charges and customer bills for CCAs with customers who departed IOU generation service after 2019.
Next Steps: A proposed decision on pre-2019 banked REC valuation is expected by July 31. Track 3 scoping workshops will be held June 8, 9, and 15.
Additional Information: Ruling on hearing (May 28, 2026); Track 3 Workshop Ruling (May 13, 2026); Ruling (Apr. 24, 2026); Ruling and Staff Report (Mar. 27, 2026); Ruling (Feb. 20, 2026); Amended Scoping Memo (Feb. 3, 2026); Ruling (Dec. 26, 2025); CalCCA Petition for Writ of Review (Dec. 1, 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.
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: The evidentiary hearing was held in late April and early May.
Analysis: CalCCA’s cross examination of PG&E’s witnesses focused on two broad topics: hydro assets PG&E has erroneously kept in rate base despite the fact that they are not used and useful, and PCIA revintaging recommendations for eight hydro assets.
Next Steps: Opening briefs are due June 26 and reply briefs are due July 17. A proposed decision is expected in March 2027.
Additional Information: Ruling (Apr. 24, 2026); Ruling on schedule (Feb. 26, 2026); Amended Scoping Memo and Ruling (Jan. 26, 2026); Ruling (Jan. 16, 2026); Resolution SPD-37 (Dec. 10, 2025); 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.
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. Phase 1 will consider interconnection timelines and evaluation screens, and the interconnection process for resources not interconnecting under the net billing or net metering tariffs. Subsequent phases are undefined at present, but may address issues related to interconnection processes, pathways, and standards; sharing of upgrade costs; net billing and net metering interconnections; among other topics.
Recent Developments: On May 4, the Commission issued Resolution E-5436 directing the large IOUs to revise their online interconnection application websites to resolve ongoing data quality issues and expand the comprehensiveness of available data.
Analysis: The initial phase of this proceeding will address a limited set of issues related to the interconnection of large-scale projects that provide electricity to the grid rather than primarily for behind-the-meter uses. Phase 1 issues cover issues defined in two of the eight categories of interconnection-related issues.
Next Steps: A scope for Phase 2 will be developed based on comments and workshop feedback from Phase 1.
Additional Information: Resolution E-5436 (May 4, 2026); Scoping Memo and Ruling (Mar. 3, 2026); OIR (Jul. 25, 2025); Docket No. R.25-08-004.
PG&E 2025 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: On May 26, the CPUC issued a Scoping Memo and Ruling establishing the schedule and issues to be addressed in this proceeding, such as whether PG&E prudently managed and operated its generation resources, whether PG&E complied with its Bundled Procurement Plan, and whether there were unrealized sales and revenues from its Public Safety Power Shutoff events..
Analysis: N/A.
Next Steps: Intervenor testimony is due September 9, a joint status conference is scheduled for October 30, and a proposed decision is expected in 2Q 2027.
Additional Information: Scoping Memo and Ruling (May 26, 2026); Application (Feb. 27, 2026); Docket No. A.26-02- 019.
5 City and County of San Francisco Municipalization
Background: The City and County of San Francisco (City or CCSF) 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 and transmission assets to serve San Francisco) pursuant to Public Utilities Code §1401-1421.
Recent Developments: An April 2 Ruling denied PG&E’s Motion to dismiss or stay the proceeding due to insufficiency of CCSF’s opening testimony. On April 20, CCSF submitted a Notice of Availability of its amended and restated opening testimony. The testimony concludes that the fair market value of PG&E’s land, property and rights that the City intends to acquire was $3.4 billion as of July 27, 2021.
Analysis: After nearly 5 years of discovery and procedural motions, this proceeding is moving forward with the testimony phase on the appraised value of PG&E’s lands, property, and rights in San Francisco.
Next Steps: PG&E’s opening testimony is due October 20 and intervenor testimony is due December 22.
Additional Information: CCSF Notice of Testimony (Apr. 20, 2026); Ruling (Apr. 2, 2026); PG&E Motion (Mar. 30, 2026); Ruling (Mar. 10, 2026); Ruling (Feb. 18, 2026); Ruling on CCSF Motion to Compel (Jan. 12, 2026); D.25-10-039 (Nov. 6, 2025); Amended Scoping Memo (Jul. 1, 2025); Petition (Jul. 27, 2021); Docket No. P.21-07-012.
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: On May 22, a Joint Settlement Motion was submitted by PG&E, CalAdvocates, and CalCCA.
Analysis: In the settlement agreement, PG&E agreed to include in future ERRA compliance cases several additional accounts for a review of accounting and for compliance with prior Commission decisions. Additionally, CalCCA’s concerns regarding PG&E’s retained RA and vintaging of CCA customers who opt out, relocate, and opt-in again were resolved in PG&E’s supplemental testimony and are now consistent with Commission guidance on vintaging.
Next Steps: N/A.
Additional Information: Joint Settlement Motion (May 22, 2026); Ruling (Feb. 2, 2026); Ruling requiring supplemental testimony (Dec. 22, 2025); Joint Status Conference Statement (Nov. 25, 2025); Scoping Memo and Ruling (May 2, 2025); PG&E 2024 ERRA Compliance Application (Feb. 28, 2025); Docket No. A.25-02-013.
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: PG&E submitted the third Joint Case Management Statement on May 7.
Analysis: Settlement negotiations between PG&E and the Joint CCAs are ongoing; however, there remain multiple facts in dispute related to how PG&E’s proposed new billing system will support or possibly disadvantage CCAs.
Next Steps: Evidentiary hearings begin on June 8, opening briefs are due July 16, and reply briefs are due August 13.
Additional Information: Joint Case Management Statement (May 7, 2026); (Ruling (Mar. 10, 2026); Ruling (Feb. 5, 2026); Ruling (Feb. 3, 2026); Ruling (Dec. 12, 2025); 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.
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 May 1, PG&E submitted its Arrearage Management Plan Annual Report. On May 28, The Utility Reform Network, Utility Consumers’ Action Network, National Consumer Law Center, and Center for Accessible Technology submitted a joint emergency Motion to reduce the statewide temperature threshold for suspending utility disconnections from 100°F to 90°F and requested the time for responses to the Motion be shortened from 15 days to 5 days.
Analysis: The joint emergency Motion was submitted in response to the IOUs missing the May 1 deadline in D.25-06-012 to implement new heat-based disconnection thresholds. The Commission recognized the growing need to reduce disconnections during extreme heat events in D.25-06-012, and Governor Newsom recently announced expanded features in the CalHeatScore System and emphasized the danger of extreme heat over the coming months.
Next Steps: Responses to the joint emergency Motion are due June 12.
Additional Information: Joint Emergency Motion (May 28, 2026); PG&E Arrearage Management Plan Annual Report (May 1, 2026); CBO Pilot Recommendations (Dec. 11, 2025); Ruling granting extension (Oct. 21, 2025); Ruling (Oct. 13,

Building Decarbonization
Background: This proceeding explores reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with energy use in buildings. The current Phase 4 will consider whether modifications to electric line extension rules would assist under-resourced customers, electric baseline allowance modifications to encourage building decarbonization, and new programmatic approaches to building decarbonization.
Recent Developments: Comments in response to the March 30 Ruling entering pilot program draft reports into the record were submitted on April 14 and reply comments were submitted on April 27. PG&E’s comments recommend the Commission refine the Best Practices and Future Pathways Framework by explicitly incorporating broad implementation considerations such as long-term funding viability, affordability impacts, managed gas system transition planning, and institutional delivery capacity, with guidance on how program-level best practices relate to system-level planning, governance, and cross-agency coordination. The National Resources Defense Council’s comments recommended that the Commission’s Building Decarbonization Action Plan ensure electric rates support electrification, align funding streams with electrification goals, and transition from pilot programs to whole-home equity-centered delivery models.
