The #CAISO has released its #TransmissionPlan covering the next decade.
"The transmission projects identified in this plan over the next 10 years are driven primarily by increased load growth including building and transportation electrification, manufacturing, and large loads including data centers, and the state’s projection that the grid will need an additional 107 gigawatts of installed capacity by 2040."
Today there were a couple of interesting filings at the #CPUC that seek to open up the currently capped level of retail electric competition for larger customers, known as #DirectAccess. This is happening because of the significant new load growth due to #DataCenters, #EVCharging and #Electrification. Because the CPUC has ordered LSEs to procure more capacity for these future loads, there's a potential cost shift if #ESPs are not permitted to serve the new loads due to the the cap. It will be interesting to see whether the hostility against #DA continues or not. #CAEnergy #Energy

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Approves License Renewal Application for Extended Operations of Diablo Canyon
The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) today approved Pacific Gas and Electric Company's 20-year license renewal application for extended operations of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The NRC's approval follows a transparent and public process through which the agency determined that Diablo Canyon is safe and environmentally sound to operate for another 20 years, though extending operations past 2030 would require action from the California Legislature. The three-year license renewal process also included approvals from state and regional agencies including the California Public Utilities Commission, the State Lands Commission, the California Coastal Commission and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. Diablo Canyon provides safe, reliable, affordable and clean electricity to about four million Californians and makes up nearly 20% of California's clean energy. "The NRC's approval of Diablo Canyon's license renewal application marks an important milestone for
