Each week, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) releases updates on new filings that affect utility services and consumers in the state. For the week of November 10 to November 14, 2025, several proposed decisions, complaints, and applications were added to ongoing proceedings.
Among the notable proposed decisions open for public comment is one granting compensation to the Environmental Defense Fund for its contribution to a previous CPUC decision. Another proposed decision addresses San Diego Gas & Electric Company’s request to recover costs related to wildfire mitigation efforts. The commission is also considering approval of a settlement agreement for Bear Valley Electrical Services’ application to develop a solar facility and battery energy storage system.
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) may be authorized by a separate proposed decision to recover expenditures recorded in its transmission revenue requirement reclassification memorandum account. Additionally, there is a proposal regarding Southern California Edison’s cost recovery for expenses from the 2018 Woolsey Fire.
A significant financial matter under review includes authorizing Southern California Gas Company to issue up to $3.3 billion in new debt securities. Another proceeding will address the test year 2026 cost of capital for major utilities such as PG&E, Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric Company.
San Diego Gas & Electric Company’s forecasts for electric procurement revenue requirements and greenhouse gas-related forecasts for 2026 are also being considered. Other proposals include updates to the affordability framework used by CPUC and designation of initial priority neighborhood decarbonization zones.
In terms of new complaints and applications filed during this period, PG&E has applied for review and recovery of costs associated with both the 2019 Kincade Fire and the 2021 Dixie Fire under Assembly Bill 1054. Several individual complaints were also filed against PG&E regarding billing errors and alleged violations of Rule 21, as well as against Pacific Bell d/b/a AT&T California over unauthorized changes in service terms.
The CPUC encourages public participation by inviting comments on any proposed decision through their Docket Card system. Interested parties can subscribe using proceeding numbers to receive future updates about rulings or notices.
“Stay Informed and Make Your Voice Heard!” stated the release from CPUC.
