Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has announced that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved the interim implementation of PG&E's Electric Rule 30. This regulatory approval provides a streamlined, transparent, and equitable pathway for transmission-level retail electric service, specifically aimed at accelerating grid connections for large loads. The interim rule allows applicants who agree to fund necessary transmission infrastructure upfront to benefit from faster grid connections. This development is part of PG&E's effort to meet the growing electricity demand driven by data center projects, with a demand pipeline swelling to 10 gigawatts over the next decade. This initiative is expected to lower customer electric bills, create thousands of jobs, and generate significant property tax revenue, benefiting communities across California.
