Siting Electric Transmission Infrastructure in California: Ideas to Inform and Enhance Permitting to Achieve Climate and Clean Energy Goals; 2024 Energy Law Conference
California is facing an unprecedented need for renewable energy resources to power the state’s electric grid over the next 10 to 20 years and beyond. Existing law generally requires electric utilities to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) prior to constructing or expanding transmission facilities. To meet California's needs for increased electric capacity and achieve the state's clean energy goals, Senate Bill 529 directed the California Public Utilities Commission to update and clarify General Order (GO) 131-D to exempt an extension, expansion, upgrade, or other modification of an existing transmission line or substation from the CPCN requirement and allow for a more streamlined permit-to-construct process. In this panel, guests will learn about the Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) considering various modifications to GO 131-D, and hear perspectives from utilities, ratepayer advocates, and NGOs on permitting challenges and proposals to better address the state's needs and provide a clearer, more efficient, and consistent process.
