Source: FERCFERC approved a package of incentives for LS Power Grid California’s Northern Receiving Station-San Jose B 230 kV Line Project, with Commissioner Chang concurring and urging FERC to clarify its hypothetical capital structure policy for multi-project requests: “the Commission approves a package of incentives sought by LS Power Grid California (LS Power Grid) to support the Northern Receiving Station-San Jose B 230 kV Line Project” and “the Commission should clarify, where there are multiple projects, when, if at all, the hypothetical capital structure should potentially extend beyond the completion of the first project.”

Commissioner LaCerte’s Concurrence – California Independent System Operator
Source: FERCA FERC concurrence tied to CAISO warns of regulatory risk for large-load and data-center growth in California, saying the Commission is addressing “potential gaps and shortcomings in CAISO’s Tariff” and that CAISO tariffs “may be unjust and unreasonable and/or unduly discriminatory or preferential” because they lack features to “timely, reliably, and safely interconnect and serve new large loads” (FERC, Docket No. EL26-71-000). The concurrence also says state public utility commissions should ensure retail tariff provisions “insulate ratepayers from the negative impacts of data center growth,” and expects CAISO and the Participating Transmission Owners to propose solutions that “ensure that large loads cover the costs they incur to integrate with the grid.”
