The California Public Utilities Commission announced on March 16 the addition of new filings and proposed decisions from the week of March 9 to March 13, 2026. These updates include several applications, complaints, and proposed decisions that may affect utility services across the state.
The regular release of such filings is important because it allows members of the public and interested parties to stay informed about regulatory actions that could impact communities and consumers. Many proposed decisions are open for public comment, providing an opportunity for individuals to participate in shaping future policies.
Among the highlighted proceedings is a proposed decision adopting a partial settlement agreement in proceeding A2407003. This decision authorizes rate increases for test year 2026 as well as escalation years beginning January 1, 2027, and January 1, 2028. Another filing in proceeding (ECP) C2508023 grants relief in part while denying it in part.
