NEWS: California is overhauling its grid and regulatory game plans.

  • CAISO’s Board of Governors approved the grid operator’s $6.7B 2025-2026 transmission plan. It will enable 45 GW of new solar PV capacity in CA, NV, and AZ. Also on the docket: co-located battery storage projects and reconductoring projects.

  • Meanwhile: The Golden State’s Assembly passed a ballot measure proposal to strip the governor of sole appointment power over CPUC. This would expand the regulatory body from five to nine members, handing legislative leaders four direct appointments.
